Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Walkden
For a kitchen-diner in Walkden, 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 Walkden with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Walkden lies roughly 7 miles from Manchester, and we cover it as part of Greater Manchester. That includes the M28 postcode district.

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 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.
