New build and renovation air conditioning in Newbury
The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first. For new Newbury extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings.
Renovations in Newbury are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Newbury is about 16 miles from Reading and falls within our Berkshire coverage. Coverage includes RG14.
Prices in Newbury
In South East England, our guide range for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £495–£1,095 per indoor position (first fix), including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. As an example, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) would typically be £1,745–£3,595 here.

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.
