New build and renovation air conditioning in Stratford
Many London homes are flats or tall terraces, where heat rises to the top floor and the bedrooms bear the brunt of a hot spell. First-fix pipework in Stratford extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open.
For new Stratford extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Stratford lies roughly 6 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. Postcode districts we cover here include E15.
Prices in Stratford
Our London guide price for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £495–£1,195 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. What moves a quote in Stratford up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. For reference, the First and second fix option in Stratford (complete install priced per room including units) usually comes to 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
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.
