Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Bolton
In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus. In Bolton, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit.
An extension in Bolton with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Bolton sits around 11 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. We cover BL1, BL11 and BL78 and the streets around them.
Prices in Bolton
Budget around £1,395–£4,245 per space including VAT for air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in and around Bolton. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical North West England labour rates. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. As an example, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) would typically be £1,945–£2,695 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.
