Garden room and home office air conditioning in Salisbury
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. For a garden room in Salisbury, the outdoor unit usually sits on a small stand behind the building.
We check the armoured supply cable on every Salisbury garden room before quoting. Salisbury lies roughly 34 miles from Swindon, and we cover it as part of Wiltshire. That includes the SP1 postcode district.

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
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 free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
