About our air conditioning in Little Bookham
Air conditioning isn’t only for summer: most modern splits heat too. The Energy Saving Trust recognises that air-to-air heat pumps often go by the name air conditioning, so a well-chosen unit can be useful in winter as well as summer. If you want air conditioning in Little Bookham, you get one team and one number from survey to sign-off.
New circuits are done by our NICEIC approved electricians, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
A cottage and a newer house near Little Bookham are very different jobs. Thick walls and beams mean planning the pipe route carefully, and a listed home needs consent before anything is fixed to it.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly:
- Flag any change in how the system sounds or performs
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Use moderate settings for comfort and economy
Commissioning is the last stage: every mode is tested before we go. We check it’s running as the manufacturer intends, then show you the controls and the timer, so you’re confident using it.
Report drips, noises or error codes early. Water from the indoor unit, a new rattle or a code on the display usually means something needs attention and catching it early keeps the repair small.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Draughts and missing insulation
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Everything the job in Little Bookham needs is worked out beforehand.
- 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.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Getting a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Wall-mounted split systems
Bedrooms, offices and living spaces are where wall-mounted units are most often fitted. The unit goes where it spreads the air well and the filters are easy to reach rather than blowing straight at the bed or desk.
Pipework and condensate drains
Between the units run the refrigerant pipes, the control cable and the condensate drain. We agree the route with you before we drill and kept as tidy as the building allows.
Homes in Little Bookham and air conditioning
About 46% of homes across Little Bookham and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.

Questions from Little Bookham
Can you do air conditioning in Little Bookham?
Yes. Little Bookham is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Will air conditioning in Little Bookham need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Effingham Conservation Area is close to the centre of Little Bookham. 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 is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with Guildford council, which is normally the planning authority for Little Bookham.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Which brands do you work with?
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.
Will you need to do electrical work?
Normally, yes. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
