Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Purley
In Purley, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. 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.
For Purley houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. Our London coverage takes in Purley, about 11 miles from central London. Coverage includes CR8.

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
For most houses in Purley, 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
A survey in Purley 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.
