Air conditioning in Sutton
Across Sutton, Belmont and Cheam we fit and service air conditioning for flats, family houses and businesses. If a bedroom, a home office or a shop floor runs too warm every summer, a reversible unit settles it, and heats the same space through winter without touching your boiler.

What does Sutton's housing mean for the job?
More flats than most people expect. The 2021 Census put 31.3% of Sutton's 82,348 households in purpose-built blocks, a higher share than Croydon's 29.0%, with another 27.9% in semis and 24.5% in terraces. A flat brings the freeholder into every decision, because the outside wall is theirs, and the permitted development rules allow only one outdoor unit on a block, provided the block is entirely flats and the unit is under 0.6 cubic metres. The flats guide sets out what to ask for. Sources: Census 2021; Planning Portal.
Which streets carry extra planning controls?
Sutton Council has removed permitted development rights in several places. A borough-wide Article 4 direction, made on 22 February 2024 and confirmed that November, means any conversion of a house into a small shared house needs planning permission. Another, confirmed in 2007, withdraws rights for alterations to houses on Meadow Close, Woodend, Hawthorne Close, Horse Shoe Green, Oaks Close and Greenhill in Sutton Garden Suburb, and a 1984 direction covers roof alterations on a number of properties across the borough. If you live on one of those roads, an outdoor unit may need an application that a neighbour elsewhere would not. Source: Sutton Council.
Which Sutton homes are in conservation areas?
Four in the town itself, each different. Sutton Garden Suburb, designated in 1989 and begun by Thomas Wall in 1912, was the borough's first. Landseer Road, designated in 1992, is nine hectares of 138 mostly Edwardian villas. Grove Avenue is a private estate of 1920s and early 1930s maisonette blocks, some modernist and some half-timbered. The town centre crossroads area, designated on 9 May 2011, runs from the station to Trinity Square and became one of Historic England's first ten Heritage Action Zones in March 2017. Within all four, permitted development rules out an outdoor unit on any road-facing wall or roof. Sources: Wikipedia; Planning Portal.

What happens next?
You tell us about the room
Ring 020 8194 3009 or send the form with a postcode, and say which room runs hot, and whether you own the outside wall.
We survey the building
We measure the room, find a place for the outdoor unit, check the electrics and ask about the lease or the freeholder. You get a written price with the electrics itemised.
Consents come first
If a freeholder, a landlord or the council has to agree, that happens before anything is drilled. We supply the drawings and the sound figures they ask for.
We fit, test and show you the controls
Units, pipework and the new circuit go in, the system is pressure tested, evacuated and charged, and you leave with the certificates. A yearly service keeps it right.
Asked in Sutton
Do you cover Cheam and Belmont?
Yes, and Carshalton and Wallington between Sutton and Croydon. Worcester Park and North Cheam are the edge of our patch, so send a postcode.
Our block has a flat roof. Can the unit go there?
Possibly, if the freeholder agrees and it sits at least a metre from the edge. The lift, the route for the pipes and the sound at the top-floor windows all need checking.
Is a maisonette treated as a flat or a house?
For planning, a maisonette in a block is a flat, so the one-unit-per-block limit applies. We can confirm after seeing the building.
