Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Send a few photos of the rooms and the outside walls when you call 07833 053749 or drop us a line, and we will reply the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. When someone in Magdalen Laver asks us for air con, the first questions are typically price and who will fit it. We publish typical prices and do the refrigerant work as an F-Gas certified company.
Space outside is rarely the problem in a place like Magdalen Laver. More often it’s the walls, the electrics and the length of the pipe run that need thinking about.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Your questions about air conditioning in Magdalen Laver
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Magdalen Laver?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 5 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Magdalen Laver. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Magdalen Laver, typically Epping Forest council).
Will you come out to Magdalen Laver?
Yes. Magdalen Laver is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How do I know what size unit to get?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Windows, the direction the room faces, the roof above and the people and equipment in it all count and the survey covers each of them.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
A single-room system is usually fitted in a day. Multi-room and ducted systems take longer, depending on the pipe routes and access and the quote says how long to expect.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
What air conditioning can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
- A lack of fresh air (most split systems recirculate room air rather than bringing fresh air in, which is a job for ventilation)
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)
If you are not sure, just phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Ducted systems
- Multi-split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- VRF systems
Why deal with it now?
Refrigerant rules have changed what new systems use. Since 2025, new single split systems with less than 3 kg of refrigerant can’t use F gases with a GWP above 750, so new splits use refrigerants such as R32, with a GWP of 675. R410A, used in many older systems, has a GWP of 2088. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before we start.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Magdalen Laver.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos and details for simple jobs.
- The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then phone 07833 053749 or email us.

“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.”
