Home gym and media room air conditioning in Westminster
Garage gyms and media rooms in Westminster often face the same problem: thin walls and a lot of heat from people and equipment. Many London homes are flats or tall terraces, where heat rises to the top floor and the bedrooms bear the brunt of a hot spell.
Basement and garage rooms in Westminster usually need a quick check of the supply and the drainage route before quoting. Westminster sits within our London area. Homes in SW1A, SW1E, SW1H, SW1P, SW1V and SW1W are all within our coverage.

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
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. We book surveys in Westminster at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
