Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Leyland
For a kitchen-diner in Leyland, 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 Leyland with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Leyland is about 5 miles from Preston and falls within our Lancashire coverage. Homes in PR5, PR25 and PR26 are all within our coverage.

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 Leyland, 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
We book surveys in Leyland at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. On a survey in Leyland the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
