Ducted air conditioning in Putney
For a renovation in Putney, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. 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 Putney, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. Putney sits around 5 miles from central London, inside our London area. 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
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.
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. A survey in Putney 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.
