Lambeth was its own village until London annexed it in 1993, and it still feels like one. It also has four completely different eras of house in it.
Lambeth was an independent village until the City of London annexed almost all of Westminster Township on 1 January 1993, and it has kept its own character since, with locally owned businesses along Main Street rather than chains.
For my purposes Lambeth is the most varied place I work. There are early twentieth century farm houses, post war bungalows, large homes from the late twentieth century, and new developments still going in. Four eras, four different sets of problems, sometimes within sight of each other.
Older, smaller, often added to. Ductwork that was retrofitted, sometimes a chimney doing more than it should. These want looking at as a whole rather than one appliance at a time.
Big enough that balance matters, old enough that the original equipment is now well past replacement age. Usually the point where a heat pump is worth costing out, because the air conditioner is going anyway.
Nothing wrong with them, but new does not mean nobody should ever look. The commonest thing I find in a new house is a system that was commissioned quickly and never balanced.

Yes. It is on the south west side and an easy run.
Yes, and there is usually more than one way to do it. In houses of that age I look at what is physically possible before recommending anything.
Yes. Often what is needed is balancing and a proper commissioning rather than any repair.
Installation, repairs and service on all of it, tested before I leave.
London and the surrounding area. Just outside it? Ring anyway and I will tell you straight whether I can get to you.
