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

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
