New build and renovation air conditioning in Leicester
The East Midlands gets warm, dry summer spells, and loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms are where the heat builds. Renovations in Leicester are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster.
For new Leicester extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. We cover Leicester and the rest of Leicestershire, including Loughborough and Hinckley. Coverage includes LE1 and LE19.
Prices in Leicester
In the East Midlands, our guide range for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £380–£845 per indoor position (first fix), including VAT. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical East Midlands labour rates. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. For reference, the First and second fix option in Leicester (complete install priced per room including units) usually comes to about £1,395–£2,845.

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.
The survey
