New build and renovation air conditioning in Cricklewood
Many London homes are flats or tall terraces, where heat rises to the top floor and the bedrooms bear the brunt of a hot spell. Renovations in Cricklewood are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster.
First-fix pipework in Cricklewood extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Our London coverage takes in Cricklewood, about 6 miles from central London. Postcode districts we cover here include NW2.
Prices in Cricklewood
For Cricklewood, expect roughly £495 to £1,195 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included, adjusted for typical London rates. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting London labour rates and parking and access costs.

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.
