New build and renovation air conditioning across Surrey
For new Woking extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Renovations in Woking are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
Prices in Surrey
Our South East England guide price for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £495–£1,095 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting South East England 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. Typical First and second fix work (complete install priced per room including units) lands around £1,745–£3,595 in this area.

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.
