Air con installers in Newtown Common
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. If you want air conditioning in Newtown Common, you get one team and one number from survey to sign-off.
Planning permission is not normally needed for a house if the unit qualifies as permitted development, but listed buildings, conservation areas and flats often need consent first: we tell you at the survey if it applies.
In a village like Newtown Common, many homes are older, and some are listed. We check that first, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Leave it or put it right?
A system that’s the wrong size never works well. Too small, and it runs flat out without catching up; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy. Getting the sizing right at the survey stage avoids both problems. Booking before summer means the work in Newtown Common is done before the hot weather.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Air conditioning around Newtown Common
About 48% of homes in and around Newtown Common date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 72% 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. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Newtown Common, including Holly Cottage (grade II). If your property is listed or sits inside a conservation area, expect us to raise planning at the survey and to speak to the planning team at Basingstoke and Deane council, which normally handles Newtown Common where it’s needed.
About 3.1 miles south-west stands Highclere Castle. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. Homes near Church of St Mary and St John the Baptist are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

Safe owner checks
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 refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we do not work on gas boilers)
- Building damp that has a structural cause
- An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet
