Air conditioning in Strawberry Hill, done properly
We fit wall-mounted splits, multi-split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, with VRF for larger buildings. Which one suits you depends on the space, the building and how much of the unit you want to see, and we explain the options on the survey. Most enquiries from Strawberry Hill start with one hot room: a bedroom, a home office or a loft conversion. A single-room split system is often the answer, from £1,200 + VAT.
A single room takes a day in most homes, with multi-room systems taking longer depending on pipe routes.
London homes in Strawberry Hill can be short of outside space, which means a rear wall bracket, a flat roof or a balcony is often the best spot for the outdoor unit. We look at noise towards neighbours and windows as well as looks, and the pipe run is planned to be short, neat and out of the way.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

How the visit works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Before a visit in Strawberry Hill, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- 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.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting up with another summer of portable units and fans rarely makes sense. A fixed system removes the heat to the outside, runs more quietly in the room and can typically heat as well, so it earns its keep all year. In London, hot spells can bring a rush of calls, so planning the work in Strawberry Hill before summer avoids the wait.
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Questions from Strawberry Hill
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Strawberry Hill?
It depends on the property. Central Strawberry Hill is a short walk from the Strawberry Hill Road 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 necessary, we check with the planning department at Richmond-Upon-Thames council, typically the authority for Strawberry Hill.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Strawberry Hill?
Normally, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
In most cases, 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.
How do you size the system?
Floor area is only part of it. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it, and we take them all into account on the survey.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Will you need to do electrical work?
Normally, yes. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Rented and managed buildings
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
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 on a regular cycle.
Air conditioning in Strawberry Hill: the local picture
About 47% of homes in and around Strawberry Hill were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Older properties often mean solid walls and period details, so pipe runs are planned to stay neat and out of sight. For a London home, we plan the outdoor unit position, the pipe route and any approvals before the day.
About 0.1 miles south-west stands Strawberry Hill House. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. Close to Strawberry Hill station? A small study or box room used for work can usually be cooled with a single indoor unit.
