Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Battersea
An extension in Battersea with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights.
For a kitchen-diner in Battersea, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Battersea lies roughly 2 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. We cover SW11 and the streets around them.
Prices in Battersea
Guide prices around Battersea run from £1,895 to £5,845 per space including VAT. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting London labour rates and parking and access costs. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. As an example, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) would typically be £2,695–£3,745 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.
The survey
On a survey in Battersea 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. Surveys in Battersea cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
