Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Blackheath
London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset. Design-led units suit Blackheath homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view.
In Blackheath, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. We cover Blackheath as part of London, roughly 6 miles from central London. We cover SE3 and the streets around them.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%.

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
For most houses in Blackheath, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
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. On a survey in Blackheath the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
