Air conditioning in North Sheen, done properly
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted and cassette systems are all part of what we install, with VRF for larger buildings. The right choice depends on the rooms, the building and how visible you want the indoor units to be and we talk you through it on the survey. A lot of the calls we get from North Sheen are about one room that’s too hot to sleep or work in. That is usually a single wall-mounted split, from £1,200 + VAT.
Where the outdoor unit goes decides how quiet and tidy the job is: airflow, noise towards neighbours, pipe length and access for servicing all count.
In North Sheen, as across London, the rooms that get hottest are normally under the roof or behind large sunny windows. Many people start with one wall-mounted unit in the room that suffers most, while a multi-split serves several rooms from one outdoor unit, which helps where outside space is limited.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What an install looks like in North Sheen
About 46% of homes across North Sheen and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and about 47% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. Older homes often have solid walls, which take longer to core drill, so we plan pipe routes carefully and keep them as discreet as we can. For a flat, we look at balconies, flat roofs and rear walls for the outdoor unit, and the lease often needs checking first. In London, outdoor unit positions, building rules and access tend to need more planning than the install itself.
Living close to The Barn Church? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. If you work from home near Kew Gardens station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool.

Work in TW9, SW14 and W4 follows the same survey, fixed-price quote and written records as everywhere else we cover.

Around North Sheen, our work takes us to homes and businesses near Kew College Prep, Dukes Meadows and Chiswick School and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in North Sheen itself: Kew Gardens station. Well-known places in the area include Barnes Hospital (1.1 miles south-east) and Livat Hammersmith (2.5 miles north-east). Not far away are Kew Gardens Lake and Duke's Hollow.
Looking after your system
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
- Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
The handover includes the records you need: the commissioning details, the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information. Keep them with the manual, because the manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.
Report drips, noises or error codes early. Water from the indoor unit, a new rattle or a code on the display typically means something needs attention, and early repairs are typically simpler.

What else we do in North Sheen
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. The more we can see beforehand, the smoother the visit to North Sheen will be.
- You send photos, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, call 07833 053749 or email us.

When it’s something else
Air conditioning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
If you are not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Ceiling cassettes
- VRF systems
- Multi-split systems
- Ducted systems
How we price air conditioning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- How easy the units are to reach
- What kind of system it is
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Good pictures often save a visit. The most useful are:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Your installation or service records
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Common questions in North Sheen
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in North Sheen?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally have a say. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in North Sheen?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. There’s a conservation area, the Burlington Avenue and West Park Road Conservation Area, close to central North Sheen. 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 needed, we check with the planning department at Richmond-Upon-Thames council, usually the authority for North Sheen.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
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.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Most of the time. 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.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
Usually, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. To replace your main heating, there are extra conditions, including for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air heat pumps.
