Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Maidstone

Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Maidstone

In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon. Loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms in Maidstone gain heat through the roof all day and give it back at night.

For bedrooms in Maidstone, we place the outdoor unit at the back of the house, away from neighbours' windows. As well as Maidstone itself, our Kent coverage takes in Gillingham, Chatham and the towns around them. We cover ME14 and the streets around them.

Prices in Maidstone

Guide prices around Maidstone run from £1,445 to £3,595 per room including VAT. South East England is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. As an example, the Popular option (low-noise unit with Wi-Fi for a loft room or main bedroom) would typically be £1,895–£2,695 here.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged 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.
