Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Skelmersdale
In Skelmersdale, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. North West summers are cooler, so many systems here earn their keep as efficient heaters, with cooling for the warmest weeks.
An extension in Skelmersdale with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Skelmersdale is about 15 miles from Preston and falls within our Lancashire coverage. That includes the WN8 postcode district.

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

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.
