Fickleshole questions
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Fickleshole?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Fickleshole sits inside the Fickleshole Conservation Area. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the planning department at Croydon council, typically the authority for Fickleshole when it matters.
Do you cover Fickleshole for air conditioning?
Yes, Fickleshole is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, wherever the pipe route, airflow and servicing access work best. Noise near bedrooms and boundaries is part of the decision and position can affect planning.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. Too small, and it runs flat out; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy, so we explain why we have chosen a particular output.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, 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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.

The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons for it, along with the manufacturer’s warranty terms on your quote. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, in Fickleshole it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
Space outside is rarely the problem in a place like Fickleshole. The questions are more often the age of the walls, the electrics and how far the pipes need to run.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

After we have gone
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
The filters are the one part you will look after yourself, so we show you how. Clean them every few weeks when the system is in heavy use, or as the manual recommends, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter.
Have the system serviced once a year. The engineer cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small problems early, and it keeps any warranty servicing conditions in order.
What we’re called out for in Fickleshole
Loft rooms and top floors tend to suffer most. The roof takes the full force of the sun, and warm air rises from the floors below, so a bedroom or office under the roof can stay warm well into the night.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
- Fans and portables that don’t keep up
- A study or office that overheats during the day
If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St Leonard, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
What happens if it’s left?
There’s a tax point for homes: HMRC zero-rates the installation of energy-saving materials in homes until 31 March 2027, after which the rate becomes 5%. HMRC says most air conditioning units are air source heat pumps, but each case depends on the facts, so we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Fickleshole.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
