Leytonstone
Samsung monobloc air source heat pump
On its own slab set clear of the fence line, with the condensate taken away below ground level instead of being left to run across the paving and freeze.

Tottenham
Air source heat pump with solar and battery storage
The whole electrical side on one wall: inverter, battery modules and every isolator in reach, with the conduit dressed in straight runs so a fault years from now can be traced without stripping the wall.

Heat pump
NW1
Camden
Samsung monobloc air source heat pump
Levelled on packers on an existing tiled patio rather than bolted through it, so the tiling stays intact and the unit still sits dead flat.

Heat pump
N22
Wood Green
Samsung monobloc air source heat pump
Stood on a levelled base built up out of the border rather than on soil, so the feet stay out of standing water and the unit does not settle out of level over a winter.

Heat pump and solar
N21
Winchmore Hill
Air source heat pump with roof-mounted solar
The panels sit across the rear pitch and the heat pump at the side of the house, which is the pairing that lets the pump run on its own generation through the middle of the day.

Winchmore Hill
Mitsubishi Ecodan air source heat pump
An Ecodan stood off the boundary fence far enough that the fan discharge is not bouncing straight back off it, which is what makes a badly sited unit sound louder than it is.

New Southgate
Daikin multi-split condenser
Wall-mounted on brackets rather than stood on the ground, which is usually what a narrow side return leaves you, and the refrigerant lines dropped in a single trunked run.

EN3
Enfield
Samsung monobloc air source heat pump
Set tight against the flank wall on anti-vibration feet, where it takes up none of the usable garden and the pipe run to the cylinder stays short.

Air conditioning installation in Newham costs 2,400 to 3,200 pounds for a single room, fitted and including VAT, and takes one day on site.
In a terrace with a rear addition, the flat roof of the addition is often the best outdoor unit position there is: out of sight, off the ground, and a short pipe run to the back bedroom.

The housing stock in Newham, and what it means for the job
Newham is really two boroughs built a century apart. The older one is Victorian terraces, street after street of them in Forest Gate, Manor Park, East Ham and Plaistow: two storeys, a rear addition and a small yard, 31 per cent of all homes. The newer one is Stratford, the Olympic Park and the Royal Docks, towers and blocks built in the last twenty years, many of them with the plant position designed in. Between the two it is close to an even split, 47 per cent houses and 53 per cent flats, and it is the terraces that are most of our domestic work here.
The typical Newham installation
A typical Newham job is a Victorian terrace in Forest Gate or East Ham, one or two bedrooms on an outdoor unit at the back of the rear addition, done in a day or two.

Permission in Newham
Conservation area coverage in Newham is comparatively low, which is one of the reasons installations here tend to be straightforward. On a house, an installation meeting the Class G conditions is permitted development and needs no application. We still check the address, because one listed building or one Article 4 street is enough to change the answer.
What the housing in Newham means for permission
Newham is close to evenly split: 47 per cent houses and 53 per cent flats. Most of our domestic work here is on houses and needs no planning application, provided it meets the Class G conditions. The flats, 44 per cent of homes in purpose-built blocks and 8 per cent in conversions, are the jobs that need a consent pack and a longer programme. The most common home in Newham is a flat in a purpose-built block, 44 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 right in the middle of the 21 boroughs we cover north of the Thames.
| Home type | Share of Newham | What it means here |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 5% | The easiest, with a choice of elevations |
| Semi-detached | 10% | Usually a side return, the best position there is |
| Terraced | 31% | A large share here. Outdoor unit to the rear or on a bracket |
| Purpose-built flat | 44% | A large share here. Planning permission and freeholder consent, both |
| Converted flat | 8% | Two permissions, usually a smaller freeholder |
Shares of the 115,509 households counted in Newham 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 Newham: common questions
How much does air conditioning cost in Newham?
2,400 to 3,200 pounds for a single room in Newham, with most terrace jobs in the lower 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 Newham?
It depends on which of the two you have. 53 per cent of homes in Newham 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 Newham?
Thirty five to fifty minutes from N14, a straight run round the North Circular to its eastern end. 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 Newham?
Yes. 53 per cent of homes in Newham are flats, 44 per cent of them purpose-built and 8 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.
