Air conditioning for flats and apartments in Sandy
In Sandy apartment blocks, the freeholder's consent is usually the first thing to sort out. Bright summers in the East of England mean solar gain through glass is usually the biggest load to design for.

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%.
Consent and planning for flats
For flats in Sandy, the lease and the freeholder's consent come first. Planning rules for blocks of flats are stricter than for houses, and we check them before quoting. In England, permitted development allows one outdoor unit of up to 0.6 m³ on a block of flats; anything more needs planning permission.
The survey
We book surveys in Sandy at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. Surveys in Sandy cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
