Catslip: your questions answered
Can I fit air conditioning in Catslip without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 19 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Catslip. 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 isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at South Oxfordshire council, normally the authority for Catslip.
Do you cover Catslip for air conditioning?
We do: Catslip falls inside our working area. Just call us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We are an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
About our air conditioning in Catslip
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. For air conditioning in Catslip, one call covers the survey, the fixed-price quote, the installation and the F-Gas paperwork, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.
A single room takes a day in most homes, with multi-room systems taking longer depending on pipe routes, and we leave the room clean and the controls explained.
Space outside is rarely the problem in a place like Catslip. More often it’s the walls, the electrics and the length of the pipe run that need thinking about.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Signs you need air conditioning in Catslip
Everything that uses electricity in a room ends up as heat. A small office or a busy room can warm up fast with equipment and people in it, even when it is not especially hot outside.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
- A business premises that overheats in summer
Older streets near Church of St Bartholomew may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.
Before booking anyone

Air conditioning in Catslip: the local picture
About 41% of homes across Catslip and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. Homes of that age typically have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route.
With historic houses such as Greys Court about 2.2 miles south-east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.
Catslip is about 7 miles north of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. Whatever kind of property you have in Catslip, our engineers can help with air conditioning. We reply to enquiries the same working day and our emergency line runs 24/7. 443 places in Oxfordshire are on our list. Guildford, roughly 29 miles off, has its own page on this site.

Why act early in Catslip
Where the outdoor unit goes matters to you and to the neighbours. A good position keeps noise down and leaves room for servicing, and it can make a difference to planning. It’s agreed on the survey, not on the day. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.

System by system
Pipework and condensate drains
Cooling produces water as the air is dried, and the condensate drain carries it away. If gravity won’t do it, a condensate pump is fitted, and we plan that on the survey.
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
For bigger buildings, VRF systems link many indoor units to shared outdoor plant. Commercial and VRF systems are priced after a survey, with the design explained in the quote.

How the visit works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. If a lane or gateway near Catslip is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Tell us about parking and loading
