New build and renovation air conditioning in Paignton
First-fix pipework in Paignton extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling.
Renovations in Paignton are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. We cover Paignton as part of Devon, roughly 26 miles from Plymouth. Postcode districts we cover here include TQ3.

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
First-fix work is about coordination, while the outdoor unit follows the normal planning rules for the property.
The survey
A survey in Paignton usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. 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.
