New build and renovation air conditioning in Brixton
First-fix pipework in Brixton extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights.
For new Brixton extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Brixton sits around 2 miles from central London, inside our London area. Coverage includes SW2.
Prices in Brixton
Budget around £495–£1,195 per indoor position (first fix) including VAT for air conditioning for new builds and renovations in and around Brixton. London is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. As an example, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) would typically be £1,895–£3,895 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
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.
The survey
We book surveys in Brixton at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. On a survey in Brixton the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
