Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Long Eaton
East Midlands summers bring dry, sunny spells, so glazing and orientation matter most when sizing a unit. For a kitchen-diner in Long Eaton, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
An extension in Long Eaton with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Long Eaton is about 9 miles from Derby and falls within our Derbyshire coverage. Coverage includes NG10.
Prices in Long Eaton
In the East Midlands, our guide range for air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners is £1,395–£4,245 per space, including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in the East Midlands tend to be. 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. As an example, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) would typically be £1,945–£2,745 here.
Single unit
One 3.5–5 kW unit for a medium extension.
Large single
One 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space.
Twin units
Two indoor units on a multi-split for long or L-shaped spaces.
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
A survey in Long Eaton 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. Surveys in Long Eaton cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
