Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Billingham
An extension in Billingham with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Cooler North East summers mean cooling is mostly needed in lofts, conservatories and rooms with large windows.
For a kitchen-diner in Billingham, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Billingham is about 17 miles from Durham and falls within our County Durham coverage. Coverage includes TS23.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
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. On a survey in Billingham the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
