New build and renovation air conditioning in Rawtenstall
Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year. Renovations in Rawtenstall are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster.
First-fix pipework in Rawtenstall extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Our Lancashire coverage takes in Rawtenstall, about 18 miles from Preston. Coverage includes BB4.

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
A survey in Rawtenstall usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. On a survey in Rawtenstall the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
