Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Westhoughton
Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. For bedrooms in Westhoughton, we place the outdoor unit at the back of the house, away from neighbours' windows.
Top-floor flats in Westhoughton feel the heat most, because the roof sits right above the bedroom. Westhoughton is about 13 miles from Manchester and falls within our Greater Manchester coverage. That includes the BL5 postcode district.

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.
The survey
On a survey in Westhoughton the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
