Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Royton
Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Royton can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first.
For Royton landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Royton lies roughly 7 miles from Manchester, and we cover it as part of Greater Manchester. Postcode districts we cover here include OL2.
Prices in Royton

Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. Typical Two rooms work (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) lands around £2,245–£3,445 in this area.

One wall unit for a bedroom or studio.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.

On a survey in Royton 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.
