Straightforward for landlords and property managers

Whether you self-manage one flat or oversee a block, the process stays predictable.

1

Share your properties

Tell us addresses, unit types, and whether tenants are in situ. Contractors can survey multiple homes in one visit where practical.

2

Survey & specification

Contractors assess each room, external unit positions, and any lease or freeholder requirements. You get a written spec per property.

3

Fixed portfolio quote

Itemised pricing per unit and property. Approve all or phase installs across your portfolio.

4

Install with minimal disruption

Contractors coordinate access with tenants or agents, protect furnishings, and leave operating instructions for occupants.

Why landlords install AC before tenants ask

Reduce void periods

Top-floor flats and city-centre rentals with AC stand out on Rightmove and Zoopla — especially during heatwaves.

Fewer complaint calls

Reliable wall-mounted systems mean fewer emergency fan deliveries and less wear on furnishings from open windows.

Block and HMO experience

Our contractors understand communal areas, fire regulations, and coordinating with managing agents.

Servicing plans for portfolios

Annual maintenance across multiple properties — one invoice, documented F-Gas compliance.

Buy-to-let flats & apartments

City-centre rentals and converted Victorian flats benefit most from cooling. Contractors work within lease conditions and agree condenser placement with freeholders where needed.

Frequently asked questions

Can contractors install while tenants are living there?

Yes. Most single-room installs take a day with brief power-off periods. Contractors coordinate access with you or your letting agent and protect the tenant's space.

Do I need freeholder consent for flats?

Usually yes for external condenser units. Contractors provide technical drawings and specs to support your application to the freeholder or management company.

Is there portfolio pricing?

Multi-property and multi-room quotes receive discounted labour rates. Share your full portfolio upfront for the best pricing.

Who maintains the systems?

Landlords typically hold the maintenance contract. Our vetted contractors offer annual servicing plans billed per property or across your portfolio.
