New build and renovation air conditioning in Ilkeston
In the East Midlands, one system that cools in summer and heats efficiently in winter makes good use of the investment. First-fix pipework in Ilkeston extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open.
For new Ilkeston extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. We cover Ilkeston as part of Derbyshire, roughly 8 miles from Derby. That includes the DE7 postcode district.

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. On a survey in Ilkeston the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
