Air conditioning in The Burroughs
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi are among the brands we fit. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons for it, along with the manufacturer’s warranty terms on your quote. Most enquiries from The Burroughs start with one hot room: a bedroom, a home office or a loft conversion. That’s usually a single wall-mounted split, from £1,200 + VAT.
London homes in The Burroughs can be short of outside space, so the outdoor unit may end up on a rear wall, a flat roof or a balcony. Neighbours’ windows and noise matter as much as appearance when we choose the position, and the pipe run is planned to be short, neat and out of the way.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What owners can safely do
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
What happens on the day
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. If your building in The Burroughs has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- 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.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Before we arrive
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Different systems, different jobs
Wall-mounted split systems
Bedrooms, offices and living spaces are where wall-mounted units are most often fitted. 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.
Outdoor unit positions
Where outside space is tight, the outdoor unit position shapes the whole design. We look at walls, roofs, balconies and yards on the survey and we flag any consent you may need.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting up with another summer of portable units and fans rarely makes sense. A properly installed split moves heat outside, keeps the noisy parts out of the room and most of the time heats too, so it earns its keep all year. Allow time for any approvals your building in The Burroughs needs.
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.

The Burroughs: your questions answered
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in The Burroughs?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. There’s a conservation area, the Hendon The Burroughs Conservation Area, close to central The Burroughs. 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 The Burroughs, normally Barnet council).
Can you do air conditioning in The Burroughs?
Yes. The Burroughs is one of the places we cover. Just give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Where does the outdoor unit go?
It can go on a wall bracket, at ground level or on a flat roof, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours, and the position can affect planning.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How do you size the system?
Sizing is done on the survey, room by room. Too small, and it runs flat out; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy and we explain the output we recommend.
Air conditioning around The Burroughs
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 45% of homes across The Burroughs and its surrounding area date from 1919 to 1939, and about 59% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age usually have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. 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.
With historic houses such as Heath Hall about 2.6 miles east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. If your home is in one of the older streets near St Mary's Church, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
