New build and renovation air conditioning in Ashbourne
In the East Midlands, one system that cools in summer and heats efficiently in winter makes good use of the investment. For new Ashbourne extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings.
First-fix pipework in Ashbourne extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Our Derbyshire coverage takes in Ashbourne, about 12 miles from Derby. We cover DE6 and the streets around them.

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.
