Wall-mounted air conditioning in Clitheroe
Where a home in Clitheroe faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
In a semi or terrace in Clitheroe, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. Clitheroe sits around 14 miles from Preston, inside our Lancashire area. We cover BB7 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%.
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.
The survey
On a survey in Clitheroe the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. Surveys in Clitheroe cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
