Rooms and systems
For self-builds and extensions in Walkden, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. In Walkden apartment blocks, the freeholder's consent is usually the first thing to sort out. Spring is the most useful time for a service visit in Walkden, before the first warm spell. We service most makes found in Walkden homes, including systems we did not install.
For a single hot bedroom or living room, a wall-mounted split is usually the simplest answer. Two to four rooms often suit a multi-split on one outdoor unit, while a ducted system hides everything except the grilles. Many homes start with one or two rooms. A system can be designed so that more rooms are added later without replacing the outdoor unit.
Guide prices in Walkden
Typical guide prices in Walkden, including VAT: a service at £90–£175 per system visit, a bedroom or loft unit at £1,145–£2,795 per room and a deep clean at £140–£235 per indoor unit. Installations are fixed in writing after a free survey; visits are priced before we come.
Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission. For flats in Walkden, the lease and the freeholder's consent come first. Planning rules for blocks of flats are stricter than for houses, and we check them before quoting.
Walkden is in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme area, so eligible homes replacing oil, gas, LPG or electric heating may be able to get £2,500 off an air-to-air heat pump, as long as no fossil-fuel boiler stays in use. An MCS-certified installer must claim it; we confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
