New build and renovation air conditioning in Ashington
First-fix pipework in Ashington extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. North East summers are cooler, so heat pump heating is often the main draw, with cooling for warm spells.
For new Ashington extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Ashington sits around 4 miles from Blyth, inside our Northumberland area. Coverage includes NE63.

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
First-fix work is about coordination, while the outdoor unit follows the normal planning rules for the property.
