Questions from Coombe
Can you do air conditioning in Coombe?
Yes, Coombe is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Coombe?
It depends on the property. The Coombe Hill Conservation Area is close to the centre of Coombe. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Coombe, normally Kingston-Upon-Thames council).
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
In most cases, yes. Running as a heat pump, it moves heat in from outside rather than making it from electricity alone. If you want it to replace your main heating, ask about air-to-air heat pumps and the conditions for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Which type of system should I choose?
There’s no single best type. A split suits one room, a multi-split several, a ducted system hides the unit, and a cassette spreads air across larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Usually, yes. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
How we handle air conditioning in Coombe
Air conditioning isn’t only for summer: most modern splits heat too. The Energy Saving Trust makes the same point: an air-to-air heat pump is what many people simply call air conditioning, so a well-chosen unit can be useful in winter as well as summer. Most split systems we fit in Coombe are reversible: in heating mode they work as an air-to-air heat pump, so a system bought for summer earns its keep in winter too.
New circuits are done by our NICEIC approved electricians, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
Top-floor flats and rooms with big south- or west-facing windows tend to be the first to overheat in London. Many people start with one wall-mounted unit in the room that suffers most, and a multi-split can cover more rooms from one outdoor unit where space outside is short.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

For landlords and property managers
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A room that cannot take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
- Building damp that has a structural cause
- Draughts and missing insulation
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What the work involves, system by system
Electrical supply
The fuse board is looked at during the survey, so any extra electrical work is on the quote rather than a surprise on the day. An older board may need extra work and we’ll tell you if yours does.
Ceiling cassettes
Cassettes are good at even airflow across a large floor area, and the slim grille sits neatly in the ceiling.
What happens on the day
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 photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Before a visit in Coombe, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Air conditioning in Coombe: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 45% of homes in and around Coombe date from 1919 to 1939, and the last census (2021) found about 81% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split. For a London home, we plan the outdoor unit position, the pipe route and any approvals before the day.
Older streets near Christ Church New Malden may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. About 1.4 miles east stands Southside House. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.
