New build and renovation air conditioning in Sittingbourne
Renovations in Sittingbourne are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first.
For new Sittingbourne extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. We cover Sittingbourne as part of Kent, roughly 11 miles from Maidstone. Coverage includes ME10.

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.
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.
