Air conditioning installation in Hammersmith and Fulham costs 2,400 to 3,200 pounds for a single room, fitted and including VAT, and takes one day on site.
In a converted terrace the outdoor unit is always somebody else's view. Fitting it where the downstairs flat does not hear it is the part of the job that takes thought, and it is why we do not quote a converted flat from a photograph.

The housing stock in Hammersmith and Fulham, and what it means for the job
Hammersmith and Fulham is terrace country that has been cut up into flats. Fulham's two-storey Victorian terraces run in long parallel streets with narrow rear gardens, and a quarter of all homes in the borough, 26 per cent, are flats in converted houses, which is one of the highest shares in London. Hammersmith and Brook Green add mansion blocks and larger period houses, and Shepherd's Bush and White City are postwar estates and new towers. Three quarters of homes are flats. Conservation areas cover a large part of the borough, including most of the riverside.
The typical Hammersmith and Fulham installation
A typical job here is the upper flat of a converted Fulham terrace: one unit in the bedroom, the outdoor unit on a bracket on the rear addition, and the ground floor neighbour's window as the thing the position is designed around.

Permission in Hammersmith and Fulham
Conservation area coverage in Hammersmith and Fulham is high, so the first check on any address here is whether the street sits inside one. Inside a conservation area you keep permitted development rights, but the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof slope fronting a highway, which in practice means the rear. Where the property is a flat, planning permission is needed regardless of any of that. Your street, any Article 4 direction and the listed building register are the first three things we check, and the answer is in writing before you pay anything.
What the housing in Hammersmith and Fulham means for permission
75 per cent of homes in Hammersmith and Fulham are flats and 25 per cent are houses, so which of the two you have changes the job completely. A house that meets the Class G conditions needs no application at all. A flat needs planning permission and written freeholder consent, whatever the unit or the position. 26 per cent of homes here are in converted buildings rather than purpose-built blocks, which usually means a smaller freeholder and a faster answer. The most common home in Hammersmith and Fulham is a flat in a purpose-built block, 48 per cent, which usually means a managing agent, a licence for alterations and a plant position the building decides. By share of houses it is in the lower half of the 21 boroughs we cover north of the Thames.
| Home type | Share of Hammersmith and Fulham | What it means here |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 1% | Almost none here |
| Semi-detached | 5% | Usually a side return, the best position there is |
| Terraced | 19% | No side access, so the rear or a bracket |
| Purpose-built flat | 48% | A large share here. Planning permission and freeholder consent, both |
| Converted flat | 26% | A high share. Two permissions, usually a smaller freeholder |
Shares of the 81,243 households counted in Hammersmith and Fulham at the 2021 Census, table TS044, rounded. Percentages do not total 100 because homes in commercial buildings and temporary structures are counted separately.

Air conditioning in Hammersmith and Fulham: common questions
How much does air conditioning cost in Hammersmith and Fulham?
2,400 to 3,200 pounds for a single room, and a bracket position on a converted terrace puts most jobs here in the upper half. A two-room system on one outdoor unit is typically 4,300 to 5,800 pounds, and three rooms 6,400 to 8,600 pounds.
Every price includes the units, installation, commissioning, electrical work and VAT. The fixed price comes after a free survey. There is a full breakdown on the cost page.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Hammersmith and Fulham?
It depends on which of the two you have. 75 per cent of homes in Hammersmith and Fulham are flats, and a flat always needs planning permission for this work.
The section further down this page sets out what the housing stock here means in practice, and every condition is on the planning permission page. We check the conservation area boundary, any Article 4 direction and the listed building register for your exact address before quoting.
How quickly can you get to Hammersmith and Fulham?
Forty five minutes to an hour from N14, and nearly every street is controlled parking, so a bay or a permit is arranged before the day rather than on it. For a survey we usually offer something within 48 hours, and for a fault call we will tell you the day we can genuinely attend rather than promising one we cannot keep.
Do you install in flats in Hammersmith and Fulham?
Yes. 75 per cent of homes in Hammersmith and Fulham are flats, 48 per cent of them purpose-built and 26 per cent conversions, so it is a large share of what we do here. It takes two permissions rather than one: the freeholder's written consent and planning permission from the council.
We prepare the licence pack the managing agent will ask for at no charge, including the drawing, the sound data and the insurance. The order the two permissions are done in is what decides whether it is expensive, and there is a full sequence on the leasehold flats page.
Do you service and repair existing systems in Hammersmith and Fulham?
Yes, any make and any age, including systems installed by companies no longer trading. An annual service is 95 pounds plus VAT and a fault diagnosis is 89 pounds plus VAT, waived if we do the repair the same day. See servicing and repairs.
