Air conditioning for flats and apartments in Brixton
Balcony-mounted outdoor units are often the neatest solution for flats in Brixton. London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset.
In Brixton apartment blocks, the freeholder's consent is usually the first thing to sort out. Brixton is about 2 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include SW2.

What moves a quote in Brixton up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed.

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
Flats need more care: get your freeholder's written consent first, and expect the planning rules for a block of flats in Brixton to be stricter than for a house. 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
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. We book surveys in Brixton at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
