Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Oldham
In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus. For a kitchen-diner in Oldham, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
An extension in Oldham with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Oldham sits around 6 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. We cover OL1 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.
The survey
On a survey in Oldham 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 Oldham cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
