New build and renovation air conditioning in Guildford
Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. First-fix pipework in Guildford extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open.
Renovations in Guildford are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Guildford lies roughly 6 miles from Woking, and we cover it as part of Surrey. That includes the GU1 postcode district.
Prices in Guildford
Guide prices around Guildford run from £495 to £1,095 per indoor position (first fix) including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. As an example, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) would typically be £1,745–£3,595 here.

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
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. A survey in Guildford 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.
