For Peckham houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. In London, heat soaks into brick and concrete during the day and comes back out at night, which is when it is hardest to sleep.
In Peckham, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. We cover Peckham as part of London, roughly 3 miles from central London. We cover SE15 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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.

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