Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Garston
For Garston houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year.
In Garston, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. Garston sits around 6 miles from Liverpool, inside our Merseyside area. That includes the L19 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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey
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. 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.
