Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Putney
Design-led units suit Putney homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view. 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 Putney houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. We cover Putney as part of London, roughly 5 miles from central London. Homes in SW15 are all within our coverage.

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.
The survey
On a survey in Putney 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. 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.
