New build and renovation air conditioning in Thamesmead
Renovations in Thamesmead are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. 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.
First-fix pipework in Thamesmead extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. We cover Thamesmead as part of London, roughly 11 miles from central London. That includes the SE2 and SE28 postcode districts.

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
First-fix work is about coordination, while the outdoor unit follows the normal planning rules for the property.
