Air conditioning for flats and apartments in Putney
Newer blocks in Putney 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 Putney. We cover Putney as part of London, roughly 5 miles from central London. Postcode districts we cover here include SW15.

Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting London labour rates and parking and access costs. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range.

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