Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. A few photos let us plan a visit to a place like Forge Wood.

Homes in Forge Wood and air conditioning
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 7 within half a mile of the centre, such as Heathy Ground Farmhouse (grade II). That matters for air conditioning: permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling is not covered at all, so we check with the local planning authority (typically Crawley council) where needed. Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 36% of homes in Forge Wood and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and about 61% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Newer homes are often easier to fit, with cavity walls and space in the loft for pipework. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
Most people start with the room that gets hottest, then add more rooms on a multi-split if needed.

Your questions about air conditioning in Forge Wood
Do you cover Forge Wood for air conditioning?
Yes, Forge Wood is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Do you cover smaller places like Forge Wood?
Yes. Forge Wood is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
The right one depends on how many rooms you want to cool, how much space there is outside and how visible you want the indoor units to be. Ducted units need a void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
Allow anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. We confirm the time when we quote so there are no surprises.
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.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
When to call us in Forge Wood
Most overheating comes from heat gained through the day. Sun through large windows, roof lights and glazed doors is the biggest source in many rooms, and once the room has warmed up, it holds on to it into the evening.
Look out for these signs:
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
- A home office that warms up with screens and equipment
A system that heats as well as cools can also take the chill off a garden room or extension in winter.

- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it

What else we do in Forge Wood
Rented and managed buildings
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
If you are not sure, just ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

“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.”
