Multi-split air conditioning in Swanley
In a house in Swanley with a usable loft, multi-split pipes can often run through it so the front stays clear. Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation.
Multi-split is a good fit for Swanley flats and maisonettes where only a balcony or one rear wall is available. Our Kent coverage takes in Swanley, about 17 miles from Maidstone. That includes the BR8 postcode district.

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
For most houses in Swanley, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
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 Swanley at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
