New build and renovation air conditioning in Congleton
Renovations in Congleton are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. North West summers are cooler, so many systems here earn their keep as efficient heaters, with cooling for the warmest weeks.
First-fix pipework in Congleton extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Congleton is about 22 miles from Warrington and falls within our Cheshire coverage. Homes in CW12 are all within our coverage.

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
On build projects the main thing is timing with your builder and electrician; we fit first-fix pipework before plastering and agree the outdoor unit position early.
