How we handle air conditioning in Broughton
Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Send a few pictures of the rooms and the outside walls when you phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email, and you will hear back from us the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. When someone in Broughton asks us for air con, the first questions are normally price and who will fit it. We publish typical prices and do the refrigerant work as an F-Gas certified company.
Getting the size right matters more than the brand: we look at the room’s size, windows, insulation and use before choosing a unit.
In a village like Broughton, many homes are older, and some are listed. We check that first, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Homes in Broughton and air conditioning
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 72% of homes in and around Broughton to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the last census (2021) found about 68% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age normally have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. Houses usually have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
Homes near Church of St Mary the Virgin 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 Broughton Castle about 0.3 miles south-west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.
Broughton is about 2 miles south-west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. If a lane or gateway near Broughton is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- You send photos, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

What owners can safely do
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Common questions in Broughton
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Broughton?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 24 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Broughton. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Broughton, usually Cherwell council).
Is Broughton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before you book and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours and position can affect planning.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
What air conditioning cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air conditioning will not do:
- Central heating repairs
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 and we will tell you honestly before you book.
