Wall-mounted air conditioning in Cheadle Hulme
A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Cheadle Hulme needs. Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year.
Where a home in Cheadle Hulme faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. Cheadle Hulme sits around 8 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. Homes in SK8 are all within our coverage.

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%.
Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey

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.
