Air conditioning for flats and apartments in Washwood Heath
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 Washwood Heath.
Newer blocks in Washwood Heath with balconies are often the simplest flats to fit. Washwood Heath lies roughly 3 miles from Birmingham, and we cover it as part of the West Midlands. Postcode districts we cover here include B8 and B9.

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 Washwood Heath, 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
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 Washwood Heath 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.
