New build and renovation air conditioning in Swaffham
Low rainfall and long summer days in the East of England make south-facing rooms the first to overheat. For new Swaffham extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings.
First-fix pipework in Swaffham extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Swaffham is about 26 miles from Norwich and falls within our Norfolk coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include PE37.

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
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. Surveys in Swaffham cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
