Things to check in Chingford
Outdoor unit position
Outdoor units need air flow and access, and should be away from neighbours' windows to keep noise down.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Chingford are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Refrigerant rules
Since 1 January 2025, new single split systems holding under 3 kg of refrigerant in Great Britain cannot use refrigerant with a GWP of 750 or more — in practice, R32 or lower.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Chingford often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
