Air conditioning for flats and apartments in Greenford
Balcony-mounted outdoor units are often the neatest solution for flats in Greenford. The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights.
In Greenford apartment blocks, the freeholder's consent is usually the first thing to sort out. Greenford lies roughly 10 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. We cover UB6 and the streets around them.

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 Greenford 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
We book surveys in Greenford at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. On a survey in Greenford 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.
