Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Radcliffe
Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. In Radcliffe, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit.
An extension in Radcliffe with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Radcliffe lies roughly 7 miles from Manchester, and we cover it as part of Greater Manchester. We cover M26 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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
We book surveys in Radcliffe at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
