Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Greenford
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. If your Greenford home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see.
If your home in Greenford is Victorian, Edwardian or older, a console or concealed system often works better than a high wall unit. Greenford lies roughly 10 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. Homes in UB6 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Greenford
For Greenford, expect roughly £2,195 to £10,495 per home, one room upwards, VAT included, adjusted for typical London rates. 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 Concealed option (ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms) is about £4,545–£7,195.
Console
Low-level console in place of a radiator, rear outdoor unit.
Concealed

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%.
Listed building consent
Period homes in Greenford that are not listed can usually follow the normal rules for outdoor units, but listed buildings always need consent, and conservation areas restrict units on elevations facing a road. For most houses in Greenford, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
A survey in Greenford 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. We book surveys in Greenford at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
