Ducted air conditioning in Canary Wharf
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. Ducted systems suit Canary Wharf loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway.
In an older house in Canary Wharf, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. Canary Wharf lies roughly 4 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. Coverage includes E14 and SE16.
Prices in Canary Wharf
Budget around £7,195–£19,745 per system including VAT for ducted air conditioning in and around Canary Wharf. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. As an example, the Zoned option (motorised dampers or two units for separate floors or room groups) would typically be £9,845–£14,445 here.

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.
