Conservatory air conditioning in Great Sankey
Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. Conservatories and orangeries in Great Sankey can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January.
In Great Sankey, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory. We cover Great Sankey as part of Cheshire, roughly 2 miles from Warrington. That includes the WA5 postcode district.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
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
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. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
