New build and renovation air conditioning in Tunbridge Wells
Renovations in Tunbridge Wells are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
For new Tunbridge Wells extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Tunbridge Wells is about 14 miles from Maidstone and falls within our Kent coverage. That includes the TN1 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%.
Working with your builder
On build projects the main thing is timing with your builder and electrician; we fit first-fix pipework before plastering and agree the outdoor unit position early.
