Wall-mounted air conditioning in Chatham
In a semi or terrace in Chatham, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first.
Where a home in Chatham faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. Chatham is about 8 miles from Maidstone and falls within our Kent coverage. Homes in ME4 are all within our coverage.

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%.
Planning and permissions
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.
