Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Broadstairs
The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first. For a kitchen-diner in Broadstairs, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
In Broadstairs, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Broadstairs sits around 40 miles from Maidstone, inside our Kent area. That includes the CT10 postcode district.
Prices in Broadstairs
For Broadstairs, expect roughly £1,745 to £5,445 per space, VAT included, adjusted for typical South East England rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. As an example, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) would typically be £2,495–£3,495 here.
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.

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.
The survey
A survey in Broadstairs 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. 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.
