Air conditioning for flats and apartments in Sittingbourne
The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first. Balcony-mounted outdoor units are often the neatest solution for flats in Sittingbourne.
In Sittingbourne apartment blocks, the freeholder's consent is usually the first thing to sort out. Sittingbourne sits around 11 miles from Maidstone, inside our Kent area. That includes the ME10 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%.
Consent and planning for flats
For flats in Sittingbourne, 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 Sittingbourne at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. A survey in Sittingbourne 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.
