FAQs
Air Conditioning in Dorking: FAQs
Do you provide air conditioning across all of Dorking?
Yes, we cover the RH4 and RH5 postcode areas in full, including Westcott, Milton Heath, Pixham, Ranmore, North Holmwood, Betchworth.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning?
Most domestic split system installations fall under permitted development, but conservation areas, listed buildings and flats can have specific restrictions on external unit positioning. We check the position for your property before installation.
How noisy are modern air conditioning units?
Modern outdoor condenser units are considerably quieter than older systems, though positioning still matters for noise near boundaries or bedroom windows — we advise on placement during the assessment.
Can barns near Dorking be converted to residential use?
It depends on the specific planning history and policy for the building, including whether Class Q permitted development rights apply. This is assessed individually for each building.
