Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Sittingbourne
In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon. In Sittingbourne, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box.
For Sittingbourne houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. Sittingbourne sits around 11 miles from Maidstone, inside our Kent area. We cover ME10 and the streets around them.

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.
The survey
A survey in Sittingbourne 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. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
