New build and renovation air conditioning in Wareham
First-fix pipework in Wareham extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. South West summers are milder on the coast, but sheltered towns and south-facing rooms still overheat, and efficient winter heating matters just as much.
For new Wareham extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. We cover Wareham as part of Dorset, roughly 10 miles from Bournemouth. Coverage includes BH20.

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%.
