Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Eltham
Many London homes are flats or tall terraces, where heat rises to the top floor and the bedrooms bear the brunt of a hot spell. In Eltham, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box.
For Eltham houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. We cover Eltham as part of London, roughly 8 miles from central London. Coverage includes SE9.
Prices in Eltham
Budget around £2,445–£4,795 per room including VAT for design-led air conditioning in and around Eltham. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. For reference, the Flat-fronted option in Eltham (flat panel unit in white, black or silver for a living room) usually comes to about £2,945–£3,895.

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
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.
The survey
A survey in Eltham 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. We book surveys in Eltham at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
