Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Wigston
An extension in Wigston 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.
For a kitchen-diner in Wigston, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Our Leicestershire coverage takes in Wigston, about 4 miles from Leicester. Coverage includes LE18.

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
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. 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.
