Air conditioning for flats and apartments in Stratford
In Stratford apartment blocks, the freeholder's consent is usually the first thing to sort out. Many London homes are flats or tall terraces, where heat rises to the top floor and the bedrooms bear the brunt of a hot spell.
Newer blocks in Stratford with balconies are often the simplest flats to fit. Our London coverage takes in Stratford, about 6 miles from central London. Postcode districts we cover here include E15.

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
Leaseholders in Stratford usually need the freeholder's consent for anything fixed outside, and blocks of flats often need planning permission for outdoor units. 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. A survey in Stratford 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.
