Air Conditioning in Kensington

HT Cooling designs, installs, services and repairs air conditioning throughout Kensington and the Royal Borough. Much of our work here is in homes where the building matters as much as the comfort — stucco-fronted terraces, mansion blocks and listed houses — so every system is planned to be quiet, unobtrusive and properly hidden from the street.

Local knowledge

Kensington is almost entirely conservation area, from the white stucco terraces around Holland Park and Phillimore Gardens to the red-brick mansion flats along Kensington High Street and the museum quarter in South Kensington. That shapes how cooling has to be done. Outdoor units cannot simply go on a front elevation; they need a lightwell, a rear roof or a screened terrace, and in a listed house the route of every pipe is a conversation with the conservation officer before it is a job for an engineer. Inside, the rooms that suffer most are the tall-windowed first-floor drawing rooms that trap afternoon sun, the top-floor bedrooms under the roof, and the lower-ground kitchens and studies that the basement extensions of the last twenty years have added. We plan for those rooms first, choose indoor units that sit quietly against the joinery, and leave the front of the house exactly as we found it.

Kensington air conditioning FAQs

Yes. We work across the whole Royal Borough — Kensington, South Kensington, Holland Park, Earl's Court and the streets between — from our base in Surrey, with the same engineers on every visit.

Often, yes. If the house is listed you will need listed building consent for anything that alters the fabric, and in a conservation area the position of the outdoor unit is what planners care about. We survey first, tell you plainly what consent is likely to be needed, and design the installation so the application has the best chance of going through.

In most Kensington properties, yes. Lightwells, rear roofs, screened balconies and internal plant cupboards with ducted airflow are all options we use. We will show you where it can go before you commit to anything.
