Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Willesden
London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset. In Willesden, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box.
For Willesden houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. Willesden is about 5 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. Homes in NW10 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
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. We book surveys in Willesden at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
