New build and renovation air conditioning in Strood
For new Strood extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation.
First-fix pipework in Strood extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Our Kent coverage takes in Strood, about 9 miles from Maidstone. We cover ME2 and the streets around them.
Prices in Strood
Our South East England guide price for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £495–£1,095 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included. South East England is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. As an example, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) would typically be £1,745–£3,595 here.

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%.
Working with your builder
Because the pipework is built into the structure, coordination with your builder matters more than planning here; the outdoor unit follows the same rules as any other installation.
The survey
A survey in Strood usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
