Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Hayes
London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset. Design-led units suit Hayes homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view.
For Hayes houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. Hayes is about 13 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. We cover UB3 and UB8 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
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
Surveys in Hayes cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. A survey in Hayes 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.
