Air conditioning for flats and apartments in Andover
Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. In Andover apartment blocks, the freeholder's consent is usually the first thing to sort out.
Newer blocks in Andover with balconies are often the simplest flats to fit. Andover sits around 22 miles from Southampton, inside our Hampshire area. Coverage includes SP10.
Prices in Andover
Guide prices around Andover run from £1,645 to £7,245 per flat, one room to the whole flat including VAT. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting South East England labour rates and parking and access costs. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. Typical Two rooms work (twin multi-split for living room and main bedroom) lands around £3,245–£4,795 in this area.
Single room
One wall unit with a balcony outdoor unit.
Two rooms
Twin multi-split for living room and main bedroom.
Whole flat
Three or four rooms on one outdoor unit, concealed routes.
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
Leaseholders in Andover usually need the freeholder's consent for anything fixed outside, and blocks of flats often need planning permission for outdoor units. 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
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. A survey in Andover 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.
