London installs with access, noise, and leasehold in mind
London punishes guesswork. A Kensington mansion flat needs a discreet condenser and freeholder drawings; a Canary Wharf lease specifies balcony weight limits; a Hackney Victorian terrace has a 2-metre side return and a neighbour who hears everything. Parking permits and lift bookings can matter as much as pipe length.
We survey with those constraints first. Scaffolding is rare for residential splits but rear access through a communal garden needs coordination — we tell you what to expect before quote stage.
Commercial cassettes in the City and Shoreditch run after hours when trading allows. Residential jobs in Croydon and Greenwich follow different rhythms. Same engineers, different logistics — each quote reflects the actual site, not a national price list.
Serving London including Canary Wharf, the City of London, Kensington, Shoreditch and Greenwich.

Frequently asked questions
How much does air conditioning cost in London?
Costs depend on access, pipe runs, unit capacity, and system size. London installs can involve parking, access, and scaffolding factors. You'll receive fixed quotes after a site survey.
Do you cover all of Greater London?
Yes. Our network connects customers in inner and outer London boroughs across the main postcode areas. Availability for same-week surveys varies by area — submit a quote request with your postcode and we will confirm the next available slot.
Do I need planning permission for AC in London?
Most wall-mounted residential units fall under permitted development in England, but listed buildings, conservation areas, and some leaseholds require approval. Contractors advise on borough-specific requirements during your survey and can supply technical details for landlord or freeholder applications.
How long does installation take in London?
A standard single-room installation usually takes one day. Multi-room or commercial projects may need two days depending on access and electrical work. Contractors schedule to minimise disruption and handle waste removal as part of the job.
What about noise for London flats?
Contractors specify ultra-quiet inverter models and contractors plan condenser placement to meet typical borough noise limits — often around 42 dB(A) at the nearest sensitive receptor. Balcony mounting and acoustic enclosures are options where external units face neighbours.
Which brands do you install?
Contractors fit leading manufacturers including Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, and Panasonic. Brand choice depends on room size, noise requirements, and budget — contractors recommend options during the survey rather than pushing a single range.
