Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Wareham
Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks. In Wareham, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit.
An extension in Wareham with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Wareham lies roughly 10 miles from Bournemouth, and we cover it as part of Dorset. Coverage includes BH20.
Prices in Wareham
For Wareham, expect roughly £1,450 to £4,450 per space, VAT included, adjusted for typical South West England rates. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. As an example, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) would typically be £2,050–£2,850 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
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.
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. We book surveys in Wareham at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
