Conservatory air conditioning in Leigh
If your conservatory in Leigh faces south, that is where overheating is worst. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
Conservatories and orangeries in Leigh can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January. Leigh sits around 12 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. We cover WN7 and the streets around them.

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.
