Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Loughborough
An extension in Loughborough with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. East Midlands summers bring dry, sunny spells, so glazing and orientation matter most when sizing a unit.
In Loughborough, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Our Leicestershire coverage takes in Loughborough, about 9 miles from Leicester. We cover LE11 and the streets around them.
Prices in Loughborough

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
