New build and renovation air conditioning in Kilburn
First-fix pipework in Kilburn extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. 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.
For new Kilburn extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. We cover Kilburn as part of London, roughly 5 miles from central London. Homes in NW6 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.
