New build and renovation air conditioning in Shanklin
Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. First-fix pipework in Shanklin extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open.
Renovations in Shanklin are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Shanklin sits around 7 miles from Newport, Isle of Wight, inside our Isle of Wight area. Postcode districts we cover here include PO37.

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.
