New build and renovation air conditioning in Farnworth
First-fix pipework in Farnworth extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
Renovations in Farnworth are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Farnworth is about 8 miles from Manchester and falls within our Greater Manchester coverage. That includes the BL4 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.
