Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Eltham
The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights. Top-floor flats in Eltham feel the heat most, because the roof sits right above the bedroom.
Loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms in Eltham gain heat through the roof all day and give it back at night. Our London coverage takes in Eltham, about 8 miles from central London. Postcode districts we cover here include SE9.

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.

Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
