Floor console air conditioning in Gravesend
In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon. If your home in Gravesend is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit.
Where a house in Gravesend has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Gravesend lies roughly 14 miles from Maidstone, and we cover it as part of Kent. We cover DA12 and the streets around them.
Prices in Gravesend
In South East England, our guide range for floor console air conditioning is £1,645–£3,595 per room, including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. What moves a quote in Gravesend up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. As an example, the Popular option (quieter console with Wi-Fi control for a living room) would typically be £2,145–£2,845 here.

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.
The survey
A survey in Gravesend 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. 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.
