New build and renovation air conditioning in Stretford
Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. Renovations in Stretford are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster.
For new Stretford extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Stretford lies roughly 4 miles from Manchester, and we cover it as part of Greater Manchester. We cover M32 and the streets around them.

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.
