Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in South Ockendon
For a kitchen-diner in South Ockendon, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Long sunny spells in the East of England put conservatories and top-floor rooms under real pressure.
An extension in South Ockendon with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. South Ockendon is about 19 miles from Southend-on-Sea and falls within our Essex coverage. Coverage includes RM15.

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.
