Air conditioning for flats and apartments in Wellington
Inland West Midlands towns can see sharp summer peaks, and the same system doubles as an efficient heater in winter. Balcony-mounted outdoor units are often the neatest solution for flats in Wellington.
Newer blocks in Wellington with balconies are often the simplest flats to fit. Wellington sits around 3 miles from Telford, inside our Shropshire area. Postcode districts we cover here include TF1.

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
Leaseholders in Wellington 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
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. On a survey in Wellington 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.
