Air conditioning is the one job where the survey matters more than the kit. Two identical flats can take different systems: one has a flat roof for the condenser, the other a light well by a neighbour's window.

Where the outdoor unit may sit on your building decides the rest of the job.
The refrigerant run from unit to room is measured before anything is priced.
Lofts, glazed extensions and top-floor flats are the usual starting point.
Each install is priced on its own route, not off a brochure figure.
Three things, in this order. Where the outdoor condenser can go, because it needs air on both sides, a solid mounting and somewhere its noise is not pointed at a bedroom. Where the indoor unit can go, because it has to throw air down the length of the room rather than into a wall. And how the two get connected, because the refrigerant pipe, the power and the condensate drain all travel together and all have to go somewhere.
Air Conditioning is priced after the job has been seen, anywhere in the areas we cover. Send the postcode and a few lines about what it is doing when you contact us, and the answer comes back in writing.
One room is a split system: one indoor unit, one condenser, one pipe run. More than one room is usually a multi-split, where several indoor units share one larger condenser, which is cheaper than a condenser per room and uses one set of holes through the building instead of four.
A condenser on a London flat is as much a permissions question as a plumbing one. Leaseholders normally need the freeholder's written consent for anything fixed to the outside of the building, and a front elevation on a listed or conservation-area property is unlikely to get it. We look at that at the survey rather than after the kit arrives.
Name the room, the floor it is on and the wall outside it. A photo of that wall is the most useful thing you can send.
