About our air conditioning in Aldworth
Think of it as diagnose, treat and sign off: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. At sign-off, the system is tested in each mode, the controls are explained and the F-Gas records are left with you. A lot of the calls we get from Aldworth are about one room that is too hot to sleep or work in. A single-room split system is often the answer, from £1,200 + VAT.
Villages like Aldworth often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules do not apply to it.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

How the visit works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Aldworth so we arrive with what’s needed.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
How to prepare
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Advice
Let and managed properties
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Air conditioning in Aldworth: the local picture
About 42% of homes in and around Aldworth have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures found about 72% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Newer homes are often easier to fit, with cavity walls and space in the loft for pipework. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split.
Homes near St Mary's church are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it. With historic houses such as Basildon Park about 3.6 miles east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.

Landmarks near Aldworth
Locally, jobs take us to houses, flats and workplaces close to The Bell Inn, among other places. Aldworth’s nearest station is Goring & Streatley station, about 3 miles east of the centre.

What owners can safely do
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Aldworth questions
Do you cover Aldworth for air conditioning?
We do: Aldworth falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Will air conditioning in Aldworth need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Aldworth sits inside the Aldworth Conservation Area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with West Berkshire council, which is typically the planning authority for Aldworth.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.

What happens if it’s left?
There’s a tax point for homes: installing energy-saving materials in residential accommodation is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. Whether a particular system qualifies depends on the facts, so we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will talk you through it.

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
