New build and renovation air conditioning in Putney
London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset. For new Putney extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings.
Renovations in Putney are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Putney is about 5 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include SW15.

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
On a survey in Putney 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. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
