New build and renovation air conditioning in Radcliffe
For new Radcliffe extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
First-fix pipework in Radcliffe extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. We cover Radcliffe as part of Greater Manchester, roughly 7 miles from Manchester. Postcode districts we cover here include M26.
Prices in Radcliffe
For Radcliffe, expect roughly £375 to £845 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included, adjusted for typical North West England rates. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in North West England tend to be. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. On our North West England figures, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) is about £1,395–£2,795.

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
On build projects the main thing is timing with your builder and electrician; we fit first-fix pipework before plastering and agree the outdoor unit position early.
The survey
A survey in Radcliffe 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.
