Multi-split air conditioning in Gillingham
Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. In a house in Gillingham with a usable loft, multi-split pipes can often run through it so the front stays clear.
Multi-split is a good fit for Gillingham flats and maisonettes where only a balcony or one rear wall is available. Gillingham lies roughly 9 miles from Maidstone, and we cover it as part of Kent. Homes in ME7 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
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. Surveys in Gillingham cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
