New build and renovation air conditioning in Oakham
Renovations in Oakham are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Summer peaks in the East Midlands make bedrooms under the roof the hardest rooms to keep comfortable.
For new Oakham extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. As well as Oakham itself, our Rutland coverage takes in Cottesmore, Ketton and the towns around them. We cover LE15 and the streets around them.
Prices in Oakham
Guide prices around Oakham run from £380 to £845 per indoor position (first fix) including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in the East Midlands tend to be. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. Typical First and second fix work (complete install priced per room including units) lands around £1,395–£2,845 in this area.

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
A survey in Oakham usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. 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.
