Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Stroud
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. For a kitchen-diner in Stroud, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
An extension in Stroud with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Stroud lies roughly 8 miles from Gloucester, and we cover it as part of Gloucestershire. Homes in GL5 are all within our coverage.

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
On a survey in Stroud 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. Surveys in Stroud cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
