Questions from Selhurst
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Selhurst?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally have a say. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Selhurst?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Selhurst is in the South Norwood Conservation Area. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Selhurst, typically Croydon council).
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. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
The position is agreed on the survey, not on the day. It needs space around it to breathe and room for an engineer to service it, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We explain the options and any permissions to check.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Selhurst
We install leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. We recommend a model on the survey and explain why it suits the room, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are set out on your quote. Most enquiries from Selhurst start with one hot room: a bedroom, a home office or a loft conversion. That’s typically a single wall-mounted split, from £1,200 + VAT.
Most installations here are a wall-mounted indoor unit, a short pipe run through the wall and an outdoor unit on the back or side of the property, with the condensate drained away safely.
In Selhurst, as across London, the rooms that get hottest are typically 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.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Air conditioning in Selhurst: the local picture
VOA council tax data put about 41% of homes in and around Selhurst before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 55% of households live in flats. 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. In flats, the lease and the freeholder usually decide where an outdoor unit can go, and the permitted development rules for flats are tighter. In London, outdoor unit positions, building rules and access tend to need more planning than the install itself.
About 2.2 miles north stands Kingswood House. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. Around Church of St Mark, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
System by system
Outdoor unit positions
Where outside space is tight, the outdoor unit position shapes the whole design. Every option is checked on the survey, and tell you about any permissions you may need.
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted units suit bedrooms, living rooms, home offices and small commercial rooms. The unit goes where it spreads the air well and the filters are easy to reach rather than blowing straight at the bed or desk.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. A few pictures of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Selhurst.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

Related advice
After we’ve gone
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Have the system serviced once a year
- Do not cover or box in the outdoor unit
- Flag any change in how the system sounds or performs
The work area is left tidy: dust sheets lifted, offcuts and packaging cleared, and the holes for the pipework sealed. Pipework outside is covered in trunking or insulated and neatly fixed as agreed on the survey.
Have the system serviced once a year. The engineer cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small problems early, and it keeps any warranty servicing conditions in order.
What a customer said
“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.”
