Air conditioning around Slade Green
The 2021 Census found about 37% of households in terraced houses. With a terrace, the back wall or an extension roof is usually the best place for the outdoor unit. For a London home, we plan the outdoor unit position, the pipe route and any approvals before the day.
Living close to St. Augustine's Church? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. If you work from home near Slade Green station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool.

How we handle air conditioning in Slade Green
Good air conditioning starts with the right system in the right place. Each room is assessed for its size, windows, direction and how it’s used, and we agree the unit positions and the route for the pipes, cable and drain, all before the price is fixed. When someone in Slade Green asks us for air con, the first questions are normally price and who will fit it. Our typical prices are on the site, and every install is done by F-Gas qualified engineers.
The electrics are part of the job: a dedicated circuit where the unit needs one, certified under NICEIC, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
In a London area like Slade Green, 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 normally come into it, so we write up the proposed positions for them to see.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Why act early in Slade Green
A system that’s the wrong size never works well. Too small, and it runs flat out without catching up; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy. Getting the sizing right at the survey stage avoids both problems. Planning ahead in Slade Green means you choose the date, not the weather.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Book an annual service
- Avoid setting it far colder than you need
- Never run the system with the filters out
We recommend an annual service, and some manufacturers make regular servicing a condition of their warranty. We will remind you when it’s due, so it doesn’t get forgotten.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing you can do. Clean filters keep the air moving and help the system work as designed, so it uses less electricity for the same comfort.
Slade Green questions
Can I fit air conditioning in Slade Green without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Oak Road Conservation Area is close to the centre of Slade Green. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Slade Green, normally Bexley council).
Is Slade Green in your area for air conditioning?
Yes. Slade Green is one of the places we cover. Just call 07833 053749 with a few details.
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
A single-room split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. A two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, with supply, fitting, commissioning and F-Gas documentation included. The price is fixed before work begins.
How do you size the system?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. An undersized unit never catches up, and an oversized one cycles and wastes energy, so we explain why we have chosen a particular output.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Slade Green.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.
Before we arrive
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
Get a fixed-price quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
Different systems, different jobs
Pipework and condensate drains
After the pipework is fitted, the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated, so the system starts life clean, dry and leak-tight. The results go into the commissioning records.
Outdoor unit positions
We think about noise when we choose the spot: away from bedroom windows and neighbours’ windows where possible and fitted so vibration does not carry into the building. It can also affect whether planning permission is needed.
