How the job changes from property to property
Outdoor unit positions
Where outside space is tight, the outdoor unit position shapes the whole design. Every option is checked on the survey and we flag any consent you may need.
Wall-mounted split systems
Single-room split systems are typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. Long pipe runs, difficult access and a new circuit affect where your job sits in the range.
Air conditioning installation in Kidbrooke
Air conditioning isn’t only for summer: most modern splits heat too. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning, and a well-chosen system can earn its keep all year round. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, in Kidbrooke it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
New circuits are done by our NICEIC approved electricians, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
In a London area like Kidbrooke, many of the homes we’re asked about are flats, maisonettes and terraced houses. That shapes the job: where the outdoor unit can go, how the pipework reaches it and who needs to agree first. In a flat, the lease and the freeholder usually come into it, and we can give you the details they’ll ask for.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- 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 building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Let us know who controls access to the building in Kidbrooke, as that saves time on the day.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Advice
Air conditioning in Kidbrooke: the local picture
VOA council tax data show about 60% of homes in and around Kidbrooke date from 1919 to 1939. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. For a London home, we plan the outdoor unit position, the pipe route and any approvals before the day.
Plenty of people near Kidbrooke station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit. Around St Barnabas, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.

Common questions in Kidbrooke
Is air conditioning in Kidbrooke permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. A conservation area takes in the middle of Kidbrooke. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the planning department at Greenwich council, typically the authority for Kidbrooke.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Kidbrooke?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
