Ducted air conditioning in Peckham
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 an older house in Peckham, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work.
Ducted systems suit Peckham loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Peckham lies roughly 3 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. Homes in SE15 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Peckham
Guide prices around Peckham run from £7,195 to £19,745 per system including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. 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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
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. On a survey in Peckham 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.
