Air conditioning for flats and apartments in Greenwich
Newer blocks in Greenwich with balconies are often the simplest flats to fit. The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights.
Balcony-mounted outdoor units are often the neatest solution for flats in Greenwich. Our London coverage takes in Greenwich, about 5 miles from central London. Coverage includes SE10.
Prices in Greenwich
For Greenwich, expect roughly £1,795 to £7,845 per flat, one room to the whole flat, VAT included, adjusted for typical London rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. As an example, the Two rooms option (twin multi-split for living room and main bedroom) would typically be £3,495–£5,195 here.
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
For flats in Greenwich, 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
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 Greenwich 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.
