About our air conditioning in Marlow Bottom
A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. Under Part P, a new circuit is notifiable unless a registered competent person does it, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, in Marlow Bottom it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
Many installs in Marlow Bottom can go ahead as permitted development, but listed buildings, conservation areas and flats need more care: we tell you at the survey if it applies.
Around Marlow Bottom, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits rooms the main heating doesn’t reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.

Marlow Bottom: your questions answered
Can I fit air conditioning in Marlow Bottom without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Marlow Bottom holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the planning department at Buckinghamshire council, typically the authority for Marlow Bottom when it matters.
Do you cover Marlow Bottom for air conditioning?
Yes, Marlow Bottom is within the area we cover. To start, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few photos.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Usually, yes. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
How it works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Visits to Marlow Bottom are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about parking and loading

Advice
Air conditioning in Marlow Bottom: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 46% of homes in the Marlow Bottom area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and Census 2021 figures found about 87% 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. Houses typically have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
Older streets near St Mary the Virgin may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. With historic houses such as Harleyford Manor about 2.8 miles south-west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.

System by system
Wall-mounted split systems
For one room, a wall-mounted split is often the simplest answer. The indoor unit sits high on a wall, the outdoor unit goes outside, and the two are joined by insulated pipework, a cable and a condensate drain, routed as agreed on the survey.
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 keep it as short and neat as the building allows.
Leave it or put it right?
For a home or business in Marlow Bottom, booking the survey now gives time to plan. Installation takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system, and the date is agreed with you once you are happy with the quote. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
