Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Oakham
The East Midlands gets warm, dry summer spells, and loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms are where the heat builds. An extension in Oakham with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon.
For a kitchen-diner in Oakham, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. As well as Oakham itself, our Rutland coverage takes in Cottesmore, Ketton and the towns around them. Coverage includes LE15.

One 3.5–5 kW unit for a medium extension.

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
For most houses in Oakham, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
On a survey in Oakham 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. Surveys in Oakham cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
