Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Hastings
In Hastings, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first.
An extension in Hastings with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Our East Sussex coverage takes in Hastings, about 31 miles from Brighton. We cover TN34 and the streets around them.

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.
