Wall-mounted air conditioning in Gravesend
Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. In a semi or terrace in Gravesend, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below.
A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Gravesend needs. Gravesend lies roughly 14 miles from Maidstone, and we cover it as part of Kent. That includes the DA12 postcode district.
Prices in Gravesend
Guide prices around Gravesend run from £1,395 to £3,595 per room including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. 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 South East England figures, the Popular option (quieter mid-range unit with Wi-Fi control and better seasonal efficiency for a living room) is about £1,895–£2,595.

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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
