New build and renovation air conditioning in Great Sankey
Renovations in Great Sankey are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
First-fix pipework in Great Sankey extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Our Cheshire coverage takes in Great Sankey, about 2 miles from Warrington. Coverage includes WA5.

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.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
