Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Urmston
Design-led units suit Urmston homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view. Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year.
For Urmston houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. Urmston sits around 5 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. That includes the M41 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.
