New build and renovation air conditioning in Rothwell
First-fix pipework in Rothwell 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 Rothwell extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Rothwell is about 12 miles from Northampton and falls within our Northamptonshire coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include NN14.

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.

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. We book surveys in Rothwell at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
