Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Stockport
For a kitchen-diner in Stockport, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year.
In Stockport, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Stockport sits around 6 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. Coverage includes SK1 and SK3.
Prices in Stockport
Budget around £1,395–£4,245 per space including VAT for air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in and around Stockport. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in North West England tend to be. 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. On our North West England figures, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) is about £1,945–£2,695.
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
For most houses in Stockport, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
A survey in Stockport usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. We book surveys in Stockport at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
