Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Kirkham
For Kirkham landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
If you let a holiday home or annexe near Kirkham, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. Kirkham is about 7 miles from Preston and falls within our Lancashire coverage. We cover PR4 and the streets around them.
Prices in Kirkham
Guide prices around Kirkham run from £1,095 to £5,645 per property, one room to the whole let including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in North West England tend to be. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. As an example, the Two rooms option (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) would typically be £2,245–£3,445 here.
Single room
One wall unit for a bedroom or studio.
Two rooms
Two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split.
Whole let
Three or four rooms, with a service plan.
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 survey
We book surveys in Kirkham at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. On a survey in Kirkham 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.
