New build and renovation air conditioning in Shepherds Bush
London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset. For new Shepherds Bush extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings.
Renovations in Shepherds Bush are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Shepherds Bush sits around 4 miles from central London, inside our London area. Homes in W12 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Shepherds Bush
Our London guide price for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £495–£1,195 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting London labour rates and parking and access costs. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. On our London figures, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) is about £1,895–£3,895.

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.
The survey
On a survey in Shepherds Bush 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. A survey in Shepherds Bush 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.
