New build and renovation air conditioning in Port Talbot
First-fix pipework in Port Talbot extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. South Wales summers can be warm and humid, and winters damp, so a reversible system earns its keep all year.
Renovations in Port Talbot are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. We cover Port Talbot as part of West Glamorgan, roughly 7 miles from Swansea. We cover SA12 and the streets around them.

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.
