Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Welling
If your Welling home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. 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.
For period homes in Welling, we look at consoles in place of radiators and ducted units from the loft before anything else. We cover Welling as part of London, roughly 10 miles from central London. Homes in DA16 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Welling
Guide prices around Welling run from £2,195 to £10,495 per home, one room upwards including VAT. London is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. As an example, the Concealed option (ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms) would typically be £4,545–£7,195 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%.
Listed building consent
Listed homes in Welling need listed building consent from the council before any work, and permitted development does not apply to them. We plan low-impact routes, keep outdoor units out of sight and provide the details a consent application needs. England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey
A survey in Welling 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. Surveys in Welling cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
