Floor console air conditioning in Peckham
London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset. Where a room in Peckham has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear.
Where a house in Peckham has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Our London coverage takes in Peckham, about 3 miles from central London. Coverage includes SE15.

Guide prices around Peckham run from £1,795 to £3,895 per room including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. What moves a quote in Peckham up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed.

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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
On a survey in Peckham 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. 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.
