Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Cottingham
In Cottingham, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Across Yorkshire, an air-to-air system is a practical way to replace old electric heaters, with cooling for the hottest spells.
An extension in Cottingham with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. We cover Cottingham as part of the East Riding of Yorkshire, roughly 4 miles from Hull. Coverage includes HU16.

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