Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Wellington
Away from the coast, West Midlands summers can turn hot quickly, and bedrooms under the roof are the first to suffer. Design-led units suit Wellington homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view.
In Wellington, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. Our Shropshire coverage takes in Wellington, about 3 miles from Telford. Homes in TF1 are all within our coverage.

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. Surveys in Wellington cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
