The newer blocks around Wembley Park often have a designated plant position on the balcony, which makes them among the easiest flats in London to install in. It is worth checking your building's specification before assuming otherwise. ### Read the full guide: 6 sections, about 3 minutes ## The housing stock in Brent, and what it means for the job Brent covers a very wide range. Queens Park and Kensal Rise are Victorian terraces in conservation areas with the usual close rear elevations. Willesden and Cricklewood are a mix of Edwardian terrace and interwar semi. Wembley has a large stock of 1930s semis with side access, plus a great deal of new build flats around the stadium where the outdoor unit position was designed in and the job is simple. Kilburn has a high proportion of converted flats, so the freeholder question comes up as often as it does in Camden. ## The typical Brent installation A typical Brent job is a 1930s Wembley semi, two rooms on one outdoor unit in the side return, done in two days. ## How far we are from Brent, and what we have finished nearby Our own address is N14 5RH, which is 8.2 miles from the middle of Brent in a straight line. A drive is longer than that and depends on the hour, so thirty five to fifty minutes from N14. The three jobs of ours closest to Brent, with the distance from the borough rather than from us, because that is the number that says whether we know the area: - **Neasden NW10**, heat pump: 1.3 miles from Brent. Vaillant aroTHERM plus air source heat pump. - **Ealing W5**, heat pump: 3.2 miles from Brent. Samsung 12 kW high temperature air source heat pump. - **West Ealing W13**, heat pump: 3.9 miles from Brent. Vaillant aroTHERM plus air source heat pump. ## What it costs here | Job | System | Installed price | | --- | --- | --- | | One bedroom | 2.5kW single split | £2,400 to £3,200 | | Double bedroom | 3.5kW single split | £2,550 to £3,500 | | One room in a flat | Consent pack included | £2,600 to £3,900 | | Two rooms | 2 unit multi-split | £4,300 to £5,800 | | Three rooms | 3 unit multi-split | £6,400 to £8,600 | | Heat pump, three bedroom house | After the £7,500 grant | £5,700 to £8,700 | | Annual service | Any make | £95 plus VAT | Every figure on this site is an estimate built from the quotations we issued in 2026 and our own installation experience. It is not a quotation. The price you are given after the free survey is the price you pay. ## Permission in Brent Parts of Brent are inside conservation areas and parts are not, so the answer genuinely depends on the street rather than on the borough. Outside a conservation area, a house installation that meets the Class G conditions needs no application at all. Inside one, the unit cannot face a highway. We look the street up against the council's boundary map and any Article 4 direction before we quote. ## What the housing in Brent means for permission 57 per cent of homes in Brent are flats and 43 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. 17 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 Brent is a flat in a purpose-built block, 38 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 Brent | What it means here | | --- | --- | --- | | Detached | 6% | The easiest, with a choice of elevations | | Semi-detached | 22% | Usually a side return, the best position there is | | Terraced | 15% | No side access, so the rear or a bracket | | Purpose-built flat | 38% | A large share here. Planning permission and freeholder consent, both | | Converted flat | 17% | A high share. Two permissions, usually a smaller freeholder | Shares of the 118,612 households counted in Brent at the 2021 Census, table TS044, rounded. Percentages do not total 100 because homes in commercial buildings and temporary structures are counted separately. ### Postcodes we cover here HA0, HA9, NW2, NW6, NW10.

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](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/air-conditioning-cost-london/). ### Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Brent? It depends on which of the two you have. 57 per cent of homes in Brent 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](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/air-conditioning-planning-permission/). 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 Brent? Thirty five to fifty minutes from N14. 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 Brent? Yes. 57 per cent of homes in Brent are flats, 38 per cent of them purpose-built and 17 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](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/air-conditioning-leasehold-flat/). ### Do you service and repair existing systems in Brent? 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](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/air-conditioning-servicing-london/) and [repairs](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/air-conditioning-repair-london/). ## Free survey anywhere in Brent Thirty five to fifty minutes from N14.
