Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Ilkeston
An extension in Ilkeston with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. East Midlands summers bring dry, sunny spells, so glazing and orientation matter most when sizing a unit.
In Ilkeston, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Our Derbyshire coverage takes in Ilkeston, about 8 miles from Derby. Homes in DE7 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Ilkeston
Our East Midlands guide price for air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners is £1,395–£4,245 per space, VAT included. Labour rates in the East Midlands keep this slightly under the national middle. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles.

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
For most houses in Ilkeston, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.

We book surveys in Ilkeston at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
