New build and renovation air conditioning in Slough
For new Slough extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first.
Renovations in Slough are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Our Berkshire coverage takes in Slough, about 17 miles from Reading. Postcode districts we cover here include SL1.
Prices in Slough
Air conditioning for new builds and renovations in Slough typically comes in at £495–£1,095 per indoor position (first fix) including VAT, based on South East England rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. For reference, the First and second fix option in Slough (complete install priced per room including units) usually comes to about £1,745–£3,595.

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
First-fix work is about coordination, while the outdoor unit follows the normal planning rules for the property.
