Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Brixton
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. For a kitchen-diner in Brixton, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
An extension in Brixton with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. We cover Brixton as part of London, roughly 2 miles from central London. That includes the SW2 postcode district.

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
A survey in Brixton 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. On a survey in Brixton 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.
