How we price air conditioning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The pipe route between the units
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- How many units are involved
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you will get one fixed price.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

Homes around Little Wigborough normally have room outside for an outdoor unit. The questions are more often the age of the walls, the electrics and how far the pipes need to run.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

The process
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Little Wigborough.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos and details for simple jobs.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
Getting a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
- A room that cannot take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 and we will say what we think.

How the job changes from property to property
Outdoor unit positions
Where outside space is tight, the outdoor unit position shapes the whole design. Every option is checked on the survey and we flag any consent you may need.
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.
Air conditioning around Little Wigborough
Little Wigborough is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, outdoor unit position matters more: sheltered from salt-laden wind where possible, on fixings that will not rust. Census 2021 figures found about 90% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses normally have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
About 3.2 miles north-west stands Layer Marney Tower. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. Homes near Church of St Stephen are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

Common questions in Little Wigborough
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Little Wigborough?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Little Wigborough. 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 Colchester council, which is typically the planning authority for Little Wigborough.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Little Wigborough?
It can. Little Wigborough is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
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, which we check on the survey.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
When will I hear back?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
How do I know what size unit to get?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Windows, the direction the room faces, the roof above and the people and equipment in it all count and the survey covers each of them.
