Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Kirkham
For a kitchen-diner in Kirkham, 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 Kirkham with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Kirkham lies roughly 7 miles from Preston, and we cover it as part of Lancashire. We cover PR4 and the streets around them.

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
For most houses in Kirkham, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
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. 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.
