Air conditioning in Long Wittenham: the local picture
The last census (2021) found about 35% of households in terraced houses. Terraces have little side access, so the outdoor unit usually goes on the rear wall or a flat roof, with the pipe run kept short.
Clifton Hampden Manor, about 1.2 miles north, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it. Living close to Church of St Mary? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.

How we handle air conditioning in Long Wittenham
We install leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons for it, along with the manufacturer’s warranty terms on your quote. Looking for air con installers near Long Wittenham? We’re based in East Grinstead and cover London and the South East, as an F-Gas certified company with NICEIC approval.
Many installs in Long Wittenham can go ahead as permitted development, but listed buildings, conservation areas and flats often need consent first: we flag that at the survey.
Villages like Long Wittenham 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.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Leave it or put it right?
A system that is the wrong size never works well. Too small, and it runs flat out without catching up; an oversized one cycles on and off and wastes energy. Getting the sizing right at the survey stage avoids both problems. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.

Long Wittenham questions
Do you cover Long Wittenham for air conditioning?
We do: Long Wittenham falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Long Wittenham?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. There’s a conservation area, the Long Wittenham Conservation Area, close to central Long Wittenham. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t 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 planning department at South Oxfordshire council, typically the authority for Long Wittenham.
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How long will the installation take?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-split, ducted and cassette systems take longer, and we tell you how long on the quote.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
The process
On the day, we 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. The work itself takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Long Wittenham.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Let and managed properties
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
Looking after your system
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Use moderate settings for comfort and economy
- Don’t cover or box in the outdoor unit
- Never run the system with the filters out
You get the paperwork that matters: the commissioning details, the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information. File them together as they’re needed for servicing and any warranty question.
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.
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.”
