New build and renovation air conditioning in Raunds
First-fix pipework in Raunds extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. East Midlands summers bring dry, sunny spells, so glazing and orientation matter most when sizing a unit.
For new Raunds extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. We cover Raunds as part of Northamptonshire, roughly 16 miles from Northampton. Coverage includes NN9.

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.
