Air conditioning installation in Newmarket

Newmarket's housing reflects its industry. There are long terraces originally built for stable staff, estate cottages scattered through the surrounding land, and a quantity of substantial period property. The terraces in particular tend to be narrow with limited external wall space, so siting the outdoor unit is the part of the survey that takes the longest.

A town built around the yards

Many of the older properties here are solid-walled and single-glazed in places, which is the combination that produces both an unbearable upstairs in July and an expensive heating bill in January. A reversible system addresses both, which is often what tips the decision.

Where a property sits within the conservation area or is listed, we will say so at survey and explain what that means for siting before you commit to anything.
