Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Cottesmore
East Midlands summers bring dry, sunny spells, so glazing and orientation matter most when sizing a unit. For a kitchen-diner in Cottesmore, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
In Cottesmore, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Cottesmore lies roughly 4 miles from Oakham, and we cover it as part of Rutland. We cover LE15 and the streets around them.

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
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.
The survey
We book surveys in Cottesmore at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. On a survey in Cottesmore the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
