New build and renovation air conditioning in Skelmersdale
Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year. Renovations in Skelmersdale are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster.
For new Skelmersdale extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Skelmersdale is about 15 miles from Preston and falls within our Lancashire coverage. Coverage includes WN8.

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
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. A survey in Skelmersdale 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.
