Questions from Broad Green
Will air conditioning in Broad Green need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Broad Green. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Broad Green, usually Croydon council).
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Broad Green?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually have a say. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. An outdoor unit can sometimes go on a balcony, roof or rear wall, with consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
Single-room systems start from £1,200 + VAT and are typically up to £2,200 + VAT. That covers supply, installation, commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork and is fixed after a survey or from pictures.
How long will the installation take?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-split, ducted and cassette systems take longer and the quote says how long to expect.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
The right one depends on how many rooms you want to cool, how much space there is outside and how visible you want the indoor units to be. Ducted units need a void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.
Air conditioning installation in Broad Green
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi are among the brands we fit. We recommend a model on the survey and explain why it suits the room, along with the manufacturer’s warranty terms on your quote. When someone in Broad Green asks us for air con, the first questions are usually price and who will fit it. We publish typical prices and do the refrigerant work as an F-Gas certified company.
Across London, and in Broad Green too, a lot of air conditioning goes into flats and terraces rather than detached houses. That shapes the job: where the outdoor unit can go, how the pipework reaches it and who needs to agree first. A freeholder or managing agent often has a say in a flat, so we write up the proposed positions for them to see.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning in Broad Green
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The number of rooms, units or zones
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on

Looking after your system
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
- Never run the system with the filters out
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
We show you how to take the filters out and clean them. In busy periods, clean them every few weeks, following the manual, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter.
Book an annual service. The engineer cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small problems early, and it keeps any warranty servicing conditions in order.
How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in Broad Green.
- First comes a site survey, or pictures and measurements for a straightforward job.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, pictures of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

What air conditioning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning, and we will tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
- A room that cannot take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem

What an install looks like in Broad Green
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 38% of homes in the Broad Green area before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 50% of households live in flats. Older homes often have solid walls, which take longer to core drill, so we plan pipe routes carefully and keep them as discreet as we can. In flats, the lease and the freeholder typically decide where an outdoor unit can go, and the permitted development rules for flats are tighter. London installs often hinge on outside space, the lease and access to the building.
Around Church of St Saviour, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install. Plenty of people near West Croydon station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit.
