New build and renovation air conditioning in Basingstoke
Renovations in Basingstoke are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation.
For new Basingstoke extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. We cover Basingstoke as part of Hampshire, roughly 28 miles from Southampton. Coverage includes RG21.

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
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
