Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Shirley
Away from the coast, West Midlands summers can turn hot quickly, and bedrooms under the roof are the first to suffer. In Shirley, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box.
For Shirley houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. Shirley lies roughly 6 miles from Birmingham, and we cover it as part of the West Midlands. Homes in B90 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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
