Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Blackheath
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. If you let a holiday home or annexe near Blackheath, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer.
For Blackheath landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Blackheath is about 6 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. Homes in SE3 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Blackheath
Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Blackheath typically comes in at £1,495–£7,845 per property, one room to the whole let including VAT, based on London rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. As an example, the Two rooms option (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) would typically be £3,095–£4,795 here.
Single room
One wall unit for a bedroom or studio.
Two rooms
Two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split.
Whole let
Three or four rooms, with a service plan.
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.
