About our air conditioning in Shaw
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 our NICEIC approval means we install and certify it ourselves. If you want air conditioning in Shaw, you get one team and one number from survey to sign-off, wherever you are in West Berkshire.
Homes around Shaw are mostly houses, many with gardens, which usually leaves room for an outdoor unit. The wall type and how the electrics reach the unit are often the main things to check.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: 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.

Rented and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Everything the job in Shaw needs is worked out beforehand.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
Ask for a quote
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Common questions in Shaw
Do you cover Shaw for air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Shaw is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Shaw?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. There’s a conservation area, the Shaw Road and Crescent Conservation Area, close to central Shaw. 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 the local planning authority (for Shaw, usually West Berkshire council).
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How do I know what size unit to get?
Floor area is only part of it. 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.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Normally, yes. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
How much is air conditioning for one room?
Typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT for a single-room split, depending on the room, the access and the pipe route. Where you sit in the range depends on pipe length, access, electrics and the model, and commercial systems are priced after a survey.
Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning in Shaw
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The pipe route between the units
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- What state the existing equipment is in
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.
What we need to know
Good pictures often save a visit. Try to include:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The address and the type of property
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly:
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
- Keep the handover documents somewhere safe
You get the paperwork that matters: the commissioning details, the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information. File them together, because the manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing you can do. Clean filters keep the air moving and help the system work as designed, so it uses less electricity for the same comfort.
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.”
