Rooms and systems
Garden offices used every day in Sevenoaks need cooling in summer and efficient heat in winter. Basement and garage rooms in Sevenoaks usually need a quick check of the supply and the drainage route before quoting. Every Sevenoaks quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. If an older system in your Sevenoaks home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged.
Existing systems need care too: an annual service, an occasional deep clean and prompt repairs keep them efficient and quiet. Design-led units, slim floor consoles and concealed ducted systems are all options where a standard white wall unit would look out of place.
Guide prices in Sevenoaks
As a guide, homes in Sevenoaks can expect £115–£225 per system visit for a service, £1,395–£3,595 per room for a wall-mounted system and £1,745–£3,845 per system for a garden room system, VAT included. Installations are fixed in writing after a free survey; visits are priced before we come.
Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission. For flats in Sevenoaks, the lease and the freeholder's consent come first. Planning rules for blocks of flats are stricter than for houses, and we check them before quoting.
If your home in Sevenoaks is replacing fossil fuel or electric heating, and no gas, oil or LPG boiler stays in use, an MCS-certified air-to-air heat pump may qualify for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, which the MCS-certified installer claims and deducts from the price.
