Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Strood
Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus. An extension in Strood with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon.
For a kitchen-diner in Strood, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Strood lies roughly 9 miles from Maidstone, and we cover it as part of Kent. That includes the ME2 postcode district.
Prices in Strood
Our South East England guide price for air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners is £1,745–£5,445 per space, VAT included. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. 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. 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. 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 survey
We book surveys in Strood at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. A survey in Strood 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.
