Prices in Gillingham

That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. What moves a quote in Gillingham up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed.

If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Working with your builder
