The housing stock in Haringey, and what it means for the job

Haringey is Edwardian terrace country, and that shapes every job here. Muswell Hill and Crouch End are large Edwardian houses, often converted into two or three flats, with solid walls, generous ceiling heights and rear elevations that back onto other rear elevations. The good news is that those ceiling heights make a high wall mount discreet. The complication is that so many of the properties are flats within a converted house, which means the outdoor unit position affects a neighbour directly and the freeholder question is nearly always live. Harringay's ladder roads are tight terraces where the side return is the only realistic option, and Tottenham and Wood Green add postwar blocks and newer flats.

The typical Haringey installation

The typical Haringey job is a first-floor flat in a converted Edwardian house, one 3.5kW unit in the main bedroom, outdoor unit on a rear wall bracket, with the freeholder pack sorted before anything is booked.

How far we are from Haringey, and what we have finished nearby

Our own address is N14 5RH, which is 3.0 miles from the middle of Haringey in a straight line. A drive is longer than that and depends on the hour, so fifteen to twenty five minutes from N14, and Wood Green and Hornsey are quicker than that outside rush hour.

Permission in Haringey

Parts of Haringey are inside conservation areas and parts are not, so the answer genuinely depends on the street rather than on the borough. Outside a conservation area, a house installation that meets the Class G conditions needs no application at all. Inside one, the unit cannot face a highway. We look the street up against the council's boundary map and any Article 4 direction before we quote.

What the housing in Haringey means for permission

61 per cent of homes in Haringey are flats and 39 per cent are houses, so which of the two you have changes the job completely. A house that meets the Class G conditions needs no application at all. A flat needs planning permission and written freeholder consent, whatever the unit or the position. 24 per cent of homes here are in converted buildings rather than purpose-built blocks, which usually means a smaller freeholder and a faster answer. The most common home in Haringey is a flat in a purpose-built block, 35 per cent, which usually means a managing agent, a licence for alterations and a plant position the building decides. By share of houses it is in the lower half of the 21 boroughs we cover north of the Thames.

Air conditioning in Haringey: common questions

How much does air conditioning cost in Haringey?

2,400 to 3,200 pounds for a single room. Converted flats cost a little more because access to the outdoor position is often through the property rather than round the side. A two-room system on one outdoor unit is typically 4,300 to 5,800 pounds, and three rooms 6,400 to 8,600 pounds.

Every price includes the units, installation, commissioning, electrical work and VAT. The fixed price comes after a free survey. There is a full breakdown on the cost page.

Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Haringey?

It depends on which of the two you have. 61 per cent of homes in Haringey are flats, and a flat always needs planning permission for this work.

The section further down this page sets out what the housing stock here means in practice, and every condition is on the planning permission page. We check the conservation area boundary, any Article 4 direction and the listed building register for your exact address before quoting.

How quickly can you get to Haringey?

Fifteen to twenty five minutes from N14, and Wood Green and Hornsey are quicker than that outside rush hour. For a survey we usually offer something within 48 hours, and for a fault call we will tell you the day we can genuinely attend rather than promising one we cannot keep.

Do you install in flats in Haringey?

Yes. 61 per cent of homes in Haringey are flats, 35 per cent of them purpose-built and 24 per cent conversions, so it is a large share of what we do here. It takes two permissions rather than one: the freeholder's written consent and planning permission from the council.

We prepare the licence pack the managing agent will ask for at no charge, including the drawing, the sound data and the insurance. The order the two permissions are done in is what decides whether it is expensive, and there is a full sequence on the leasehold flats page.

Do you service and repair existing systems in Haringey?

Yes, any make and any age, including systems installed by companies no longer trading. An annual service is 95 pounds plus VAT and a fault diagnosis is 89 pounds plus VAT, waived if we do the repair the same day. See servicing and repairs.
