Air Conditioning

Cool, quiet comfort
in Kensington

Kensington’s stucco terraces, mansion blocks and period townhouses hold the heat in summer, and a properly designed air conditioning system makes them comfortable without spoiling the interior. We fit wall-mounted splits for single rooms and multi-split systems that cool several rooms from one outdoor unit, with discreet, well-routed pipework.

Systems are sized to each room, installed by F Gas qualified engineers and finished to a standard that suits prime-central interiors. They run quietly and provide efficient heating in winter as well.

Siting & Permission

Conservation, listed frontages
& managing agents

In Kensington the cooling is straightforward; the permission is the work. Almost all of W8 sits within Royal Borough conservation areas, much of it listed or under Article 4, so an external condenser typically needs planning consent. In a managed block you’ll also need freeholder or managing-agent approval and an agreed position.

We plan the outdoor unit and pipework to be discreet and compliant — kept off protected facades, sited sympathetically — and flag where consent is required before we begin, so the install goes in cleanly rather than running into the planners.

Kensington Specifics

Mansion blocks
& period homes

Around Kensington Square, the Phillimore estate and the High Street, much of the stock is mansion-block flats and period houses where outdoor space is limited and shared. We work with lightwells, roof areas and rear elevations, and with the building’s managing agent, to find a compliant, discreet position for the condenser.

The finish matters here — a quiet system, a barely-visible outdoor unit and a clean interior installation, done with the discretion W8 clients expect.

Heating Too

Not just cooling
across London

DGN GAS is a full heating and cooling firm. As well as air conditioning in Kensington, we install and replace boilers, fit Megaflo cylinders and underfloor heating, and carry out powerflushing right across London — and a renovation is often the ideal moment to plan cooling and a heating upgrade together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions
about Kensington air conditioning

Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Kensington?
Usually, yes. Almost all of W8 is conservation area, much of it listed or under Article 4, so an external condenser typically needs planning consent rather than permitted development. We advise before starting.
Can you fit air conditioning in a Kensington mansion flat?
Yes — with freeholder or managing-agent consent and an agreed siting for the outdoor unit. We handle the liaison and protect common parts as we work.
Where does the outdoor unit go on a period townhouse?
As discreetly as possible — a rear elevation, lightwell or roof area, kept off protected frontages and sited to be compliant and sympathetic.
Is it noisy?
Modern systems are very quiet indoors and at the condenser. We site and commission them to minimise noise, which also helps with neighbours and planning.

Common Questions

Air conditioning in Kensington

Can one outdoor unit serve several rooms?

Yes — a multi-split system runs several indoor units from one condenser, which is ideal where outdoor space and permitted positions are limited.

Does the system heat as well as cool?

Yes — modern air-to-air units reverse to provide efficient heating in winter, so one system covers the whole year.

Do you cover nearby?

Yes — across Kensington, Holland Park, Notting Hill and South Kensington. For heating, see our boiler installation service.
