Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Bootle
North West summers are cooler, so many systems here earn their keep as efficient heaters, with cooling for the warmest weeks. For a kitchen-diner in Bootle, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
An extension in Bootle with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Bootle lies roughly 4 miles from Liverpool, and we cover it as part of Merseyside. Homes in L20 are all within our coverage.

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

Surveys in Bootle cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
