New build and renovation air conditioning in Romford
For new Romford extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. 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 Romford are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Romford is about 14 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. Coverage includes RM1.

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
A survey in Romford 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. 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.
