New build and renovation air conditioning in Stockton-on-Tees
First-fix pipework in Stockton-on-Tees extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Cooler North East summers mean cooling is mostly needed in lofts, conservatories and rooms with large windows.
For new Stockton-on-Tees extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Our County Durham coverage takes in Stockton-on-Tees, about 18 miles from Durham. Homes in TS19 are all within our coverage.

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.
