Known historically as the “Queen of the Suburbs”, Ealing’s Edwardian and inter-war terraces are generally more spacious than their Victorian counterparts closer to central London, with wider side returns that make pipe routing between indoor and outdoor units more flexible.
Conservation areas around Ealing Common, Grange, and Castlebar cover a meaningful share of the borough’s housing, so the same permitted-development checks that apply across London still matter here, particularly for front-facing installations.
The arrival of the Elizabeth line has increased demand for both residential and small commercial installations in the area, as improved transport links have brought more businesses and home-working professionals wanting reliable cooling for office space carved out of spare rooms.
