Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Stretford
For a kitchen-diner in Stretford, 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.
An extension in Stretford with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Stretford is about 4 miles from Manchester and falls within our Greater Manchester coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include M32.

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.

Surveys in Stretford cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
