Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Ormskirk
Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year. In Ormskirk, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit.
For a kitchen-diner in Ormskirk, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Our Lancashire coverage takes in Ormskirk, about 15 miles from Preston. Homes in L39 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
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 Ormskirk 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.
