FAQs for Childrey
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Childrey?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Childrey Conservation Area takes in the middle of Childrey. 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 local planning authority (for Childrey, typically Vale of White Horse council).
Is Childrey within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Usually, yes. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
There’s no single best type. Wall-mounted splits suit single rooms, multi-splits run several rooms from one outdoor unit, ducted systems hide the unit in the ceiling, and cassettes suit offices and larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Different systems, different jobs
Multi-split systems
Indoor units on a multi-split don’t all have to look the same: a wall unit in one room, a ducted or floor unit in another, depending on the model. We plan the mix on the survey.
Pipework and condensate drains
The indoor and outdoor units are joined by insulated refrigerant pipes, a cable and a condensate drain. We agree the route with you before we drill and kept as tidy as the building allows.
Air conditioning in Childrey: local notes
About 31% of homes in Childrey and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Newer homes are often easier to fit, with cavity walls and space in the loft for pipework.
Older streets near Church of St Mary may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. A loft bedroom or a glazed extension is often the room that prompts the first call.

What else we do in Childrey
The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Childrey.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear access to the fuse board

Advice
What affects the quote in Childrey
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- How many units are involved
- How easy the units are to reach
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The address and the type of property
For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few photos make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.

“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.”
