Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Canterbury
Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus. For bedrooms in Canterbury, we place the outdoor unit at the back of the house, away from neighbours' windows.
Top-floor flats in Canterbury feel the heat most, because the roof sits right above the bedroom. We cover Canterbury as part of Kent, roughly 24 miles from Maidstone. That includes the CT1 postcode district.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%.

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. A survey in Canterbury usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
