Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Wickford
In Wickford, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Bright summers in the East of England mean solar gain through glass is usually the biggest load to design for.
An extension in Wickford with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Wickford lies roughly 10 miles from Southend-on-Sea, and we cover it as part of Essex. Homes in SS12 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Wickford
Guide prices around Wickford run from £1,595 to £4,995 per space including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in the East of England. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. As an example, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) would typically be £2,295–£3,195 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
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

We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
