Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Camden Town
An extension in Camden Town with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. 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 Camden Town, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Our London coverage takes in Camden Town, about 3 miles from central London. Postcode districts we cover here include NW1.

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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
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. On a survey in Camden Town 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.
