New build and renovation air conditioning in Litherland
First-fix pipework in Litherland extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
For new Litherland extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. We cover Litherland as part of Merseyside, roughly 4 miles from Liverpool. Homes in L21 are all within our coverage.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%.

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.
