New build and renovation air conditioning in Urmston
For new Urmston extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. North West summers are cooler, so many systems here earn their keep as efficient heaters, with cooling for the warmest weeks.
First-fix pipework in Urmston extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Urmston sits around 5 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. Coverage includes M41.

It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in North West England tend to be. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles.

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.
