The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. We plan the trip to Brook Street around you.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where necessary.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Air conditioning in Brook Street: the local picture
About 47% of homes across Brook Street and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 76% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age usually have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it.
Older streets near Church of St Peter may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. About 3.2 miles south-west stands Hare Hall. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.

What else we do in Brook Street
Pricing air conditioning in Brook Street
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Brook Street questions
Can you do air conditioning in Brook Street?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Brook Street is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Brook Street?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 7 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Brook Street. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to Brentwood council, which is usually the planning authority for Brook Street when it matters.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours and position can affect planning.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Yes, most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Some cooling-only models exist, so we confirm it for the model on your quote.
What the work involves, system by system
Outdoor unit positions
Outdoor units are fitted on wall brackets, at ground level or on a flat roof, whatever suits the building and the route. It needs airflow around it and room for servicing.
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Larger buildings may suit VRF, which runs many indoor units from shared outdoor units. VRF and larger commercial jobs are priced after a survey, with the design explained in the quote.
Safe owner checks
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
