For landlords and property managers
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
About our air conditioning in Chaddleworth
Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Just ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form with pictures of the rooms and the outside of the property, and you’ll hear back from us the same working day about a survey or a fixed-price quote. A lot of the calls we get from Chaddleworth are about one room that’s too hot to sleep or work in. That’s usually a single wall-mounted split, from £1,200 + VAT.
Homes around Chaddleworth usually have room outside for an outdoor unit. The questions are more often the age of the walls, the electrics and how far the pipes need to run.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Chaddleworth.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

Air conditioning around Chaddleworth
The last census (2021) found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
A loft bedroom or a glazed extension is often the room that prompts the first call. Around Church of St Andrew, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.

FAQs for Chaddleworth
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Chaddleworth?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Chaddleworth sits inside the Chaddleworth Conservation Area. 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 necessary, we check with the planning department at West Berkshire council, typically the authority for Chaddleworth.
Is Chaddleworth in your area for air conditioning?
We do: Chaddleworth falls inside our working area. Just phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
How do you size the system?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it, and we take them all into account on the survey.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Different systems, different jobs
Pipework and condensate drains
Cooling produces water as the air is dried, which the condensate drain takes away. If gravity will not do it, a condensate pump is fitted and we allow for that in the quote.
Ducted systems
A ducted system needs a ceiling void or loft deep enough for the unit and ducts plus an access hatch for maintenance. We check that on the survey before recommending one.
What affects the quote in Chaddleworth
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- What kind of system it is
- The brand, model and parts involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
If you need air conditioning in Chaddleworth, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form. Let us know the type of property and what you need, and send a few pictures if you can. We reply the same working day.
