New build and renovation air conditioning in Ilford

First-fix pipework in Ilford extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Our London coverage takes in Ilford, about 9 miles from central London. Homes in IG1, IG4 and IG5 are all within our coverage.

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.
