New build and renovation air conditioning in Clifton
Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks. Renovations in Clifton are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster.
First-fix pipework in Clifton extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Clifton sits within our Bristol area. Coverage includes BS8.

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.
