New build and renovation air conditioning in Dunstable
Renovations in Dunstable are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Bright summers in the East of England mean solar gain through glass is usually the biggest load to design for.
First-fix pipework in Dunstable extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Dunstable is about 5 miles from Luton and falls within our Bedfordshire coverage. Coverage includes LU6.

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%.
Working with your builder
Because the pipework is built into the structure, coordination with your builder matters more than planning here; the outdoor unit follows the same rules as any other installation.
