New build and renovation air conditioning in Acton
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. First-fix pipework in Acton extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open.
For new Acton extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Acton is about 7 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. We cover W3 and the streets around them.

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
First-fix work is about coordination, while the outdoor unit follows the normal planning rules for the property.
