Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Longton
Away from the coast, West Midlands summers can turn hot quickly, and bedrooms under the roof are the first to suffer. In Longton, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit.
For a kitchen-diner in Longton, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. We cover Longton as part of Staffordshire, roughly 3 miles from Stoke-on-Trent. We cover ST3 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
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. On a survey in Longton 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.
