Multi-split air conditioning in Chatham
The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first. Multi-split is a good fit for Chatham flats and maisonettes where only a balcony or one rear wall is available.
Twin and triple systems suit Chatham homes where bedrooms sit above the kitchen and one rear wall can take the outdoor unit. Chatham lies roughly 8 miles from Maidstone, and we cover it as part of Kent. Postcode districts we cover here include ME4.

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
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. On a survey in Chatham 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.
