How we handle air conditioning in Leigh
The best installations are planned before a single hole is drilled. We look at each room’s size, glazing, orientation and use, and we agree the unit positions and the route for the pipes, cable and drain, all before the price is fixed. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, in Leigh it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
Getting the size right matters more than the brand: we look at the room’s size, windows, insulation and use before choosing a unit.
Around Leigh, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits garden rooms, lofts and extensions that the main heating struggles with.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

What an install looks like in Leigh
About 45% of homes in Leigh and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 72% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age normally have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
Homes near Church of St Bartholomew are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.
Leigh is about 3 miles south-west of Reigate, in Surrey. Properties in Leigh get the same service as everywhere we cover: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end. Our list for Surrey has 395 entries, and Leigh is one.
Our nearest recent job to Leigh was on Cockshot Hill, Reigate (RH2), about 3 miles north-east: installing a Mitsubishi Electric multi-split system serving four rooms: master bedroom, two further bedrooms and a home office. Read more

Leigh questions
Will you come out to Leigh?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is air conditioning in Leigh permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Leigh Conservation Area takes in the middle of Leigh. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Leigh, typically Mole Valley council).
Which type of air conditioning is best?
There’s no single best type. A split suits one room, a multi-split several, a ducted system hides the unit, and a cassette spreads air across larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. An undersized unit never catches up, and an oversized one cycles and wastes energy, so we explain why we have chosen a particular output.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
When to call us in Leigh
Commercial spaces gain heat from people, equipment, lighting and glazing. Comfortable staff and customers are the usual reason businesses get in touch, along with keeping equipment rooms at a steady temperature.
The things we are asked about most are:
- Fans and portables that don’t keep up
- Working from home in a room that gets too warm
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
A loft bedroom or a glazed extension is often the room that prompts the first call.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
The work area is left tidy: sheets removed, packaging cleared up and pipe holes sealed. Pipework outside is covered in trunking or insulated and neatly fixed as agreed on the survey.
Clean the filters regularly, not just at the service. Blocked filters cut airflow and make the system work harder, which costs you more to run.
What happens on the day
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Work in Leigh is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- 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.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
How to get a quote
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because every property is different. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
The best time to plan air conditioning is before the hot weather, not during it. When people buy in a hurry, the unit is often the wrong size or badly placed, which is costly to undo. Booking the survey early gives you time to weigh up the options. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns
- NICEIC approved for electrical work

“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.”
