New build and renovation air conditioning in Purley
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. Renovations in Purley are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster.
First-fix pipework in Purley extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. We cover Purley as part of London, roughly 11 miles from central London. Coverage includes CR8.
Prices in Purley
In London, our guide range for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £495–£1,195 per indoor position (first fix), including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. Typical First and second fix work (complete install priced per room including units) lands around £1,895–£3,895 in this area.

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.
The survey
Surveys in Purley cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. A survey in Purley usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
