Before you call an engineer
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Air conditioning installation in Godstone
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi are among the brands we fit. We recommend a model on the survey and explain why it suits the room, along with the manufacturer’s warranty terms on your quote. Modern air conditioning heats as well as cools: the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes called air conditioning, so a system bought for summer earns its keep in winter too.
Villages like Godstone often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules do not apply to it.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

The process
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Godstone.
- You send photos, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Clear access to the fuse board
Getting a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

When to call us in Godstone
Bedrooms that are too warm at night are a frequent reason for a call. Once a bedroom has soaked up heat during the day, opening a window may not bring the temperature down far enough, especially on a still night.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
- An office, shop or restaurant that’s uncomfortable for staff and customers
- Fans and portables that do not keep up
With historic houses such as Titsey Place about 4.1 miles north-east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.
Questions to ask before booking
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
Godstone questions
Can you do air conditioning in Godstone?
We do: Godstone falls inside our working area. Just ring us on 07833 053749 with a few details.
Is air conditioning in Godstone permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The centre of Godstone is in the Green, Godstone Conservation Area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact Tandridge council, which is normally the planning authority for Godstone.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
In most cases, yes: a dedicated circuit is needed. Under Part P, a new circuit has to be notified unless a registered competent person does it, and we’re NICEIC approved, so we can install and certify it.
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.
How do I know what size unit to get?
Sizing is done on the survey, room by room. An undersized unit never catches up, and an oversized one cycles and wastes energy, so we explain why we have chosen a particular output.
Air conditioning around Godstone
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 41% of homes across Godstone and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 61% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Homes of that age typically have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split.
Older streets near Church of St Nicholas may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

How the job changes from property to property
Ducted systems
Ducted units can feed several rooms through a network of ducts, and they’re easiest to fit while ceilings are open, such as during a refurbishment.
Electrical supply
The fuse board is looked at during the survey, so any extra electrical work is on the quote rather than a surprise on the day. An older board may need extra work, and we explain why if so.
A customer’s words
“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.”
