Wall-mounted air conditioning in Cricklewood
The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights. Where a home in Cricklewood faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight.
A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Cricklewood needs. We cover Cricklewood as part of London, roughly 6 miles from central London. We cover NW2 and the streets around them.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Cricklewood, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. Surveys in Cricklewood cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
