Air conditioning installation in Catmore
Thinking about air conditioning but not sure where to start? Just call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with photos of the rooms and the outside of the property, and you will hear back from us the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. Every installation in Catmore begins with a look at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, then a fixed-price quote that names the make and model.
Where the outdoor unit goes decides how quiet and tidy the job is: airflow, noise towards neighbours, pipe length and access for servicing all count.
For a home in or near Catmore, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits garden rooms, lofts and extensions that the main heating struggles with.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Your questions about air conditioning in Catmore
Is Catmore in your area for air conditioning?
We do: Catmore falls inside our working area. To start, ring 07833 053749 or send an email with a few photos.
Will air conditioning in Catmore need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Catmore holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at West Berkshire council, typically the authority for Catmore.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
Typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT for a single-room split, depending on the room, the access and the pipe route. Long pipe runs, difficult access, a new circuit and premium indoor units push the price up, and commercial systems are priced after a survey.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.

What else we do in Catmore
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Catmore.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

What happens if it’s left?
New systems now use lower-impact refrigerants. From 2025, single splits under 3 kg cannot use refrigerants with a GWP over 750, so new splits use refrigerants such as R32, with a GWP of 675. R410A, used in many older systems, has a GWP of 2088. Booking before summer means the work in Catmore is done before the hot weather.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.

Air conditioning around Catmore
Census 2021 figures found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it.
Older streets near Church of St Margaret may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. Starting with one room is common, and the outdoor unit can be chosen with more rooms in mind.
