Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Ludlow
Away from the coast, West Midlands summers can turn hot quickly, and bedrooms under the roof are the first to suffer. In Ludlow, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit.
For a kitchen-diner in Ludlow, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Ludlow is about 24 miles from Telford and falls within our Shropshire coverage. That includes the SY8 postcode district.
Prices in Ludlow
For Ludlow, expect roughly £1,395 to £4,345 per space, VAT included, adjusted for typical West Midlands rates. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. On our West Midlands figures, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) is about £1,995–£2,795.
Single unit
One 3.5–5 kW unit for a medium extension.
Large single
One 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space.
Twin units
Two indoor units on a multi-split for long or L-shaped spaces.
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
A survey in Ludlow usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. We book surveys in Ludlow at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
