Multi-split air conditioning in Catford
In a house in Catford with a usable loft, multi-split pipes can often run through it so the front stays clear. In London, heat soaks into brick and concrete during the day and comes back out at night, which is when it is hardest to sleep.
Multi-split is a good fit for Catford flats and maisonettes where only a balcony or one rear wall is available. We cover Catford as part of London, roughly 6 miles from central London. That includes the SE6 postcode district.

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.
