New build and renovation air conditioning in Gateshead
For new Gateshead extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Cold, windy North East winters favour a well-sized heat pump with an outdoor unit sheltered from the prevailing wind.
Renovations in Gateshead are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Gateshead is part of our Tyne and Wear coverage. That includes the NE8 postcode district.
Prices in Gateshead

That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical North East England labour rates. What moves a quote in Gateshead up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed.

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.

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