Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Daventry
For Daventry houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. The East Midlands gets warm, dry summer spells, and loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms are where the heat builds.
In Daventry, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. Daventry lies roughly 12 miles from Northampton, and we cover it as part of Northamptonshire. That includes the NN11 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
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. A survey in Daventry usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
