Floor console air conditioning in Gillingham
If your home in Gillingham is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.
Where a room in Gillingham has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. Gillingham sits around 9 miles from Maidstone, inside our Kent area. Postcode districts we cover here include ME7.

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%.
Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
