Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Blackpool
For a kitchen-diner in Blackpool, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
An extension in Blackpool with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. We cover Blackpool as part of Lancashire, roughly 15 miles from Preston. That includes the FY1 postcode district.
Prices in Blackpool
Guide prices around Blackpool run from £1,395 to £4,245 per space including VAT. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical North West England labour rates. What moves a quote in Blackpool up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. For reference, the Large single option in Blackpool (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) usually comes to 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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
A survey in Blackpool 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.
