Managing agents and facilities teams in Shawford
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Air conditioning installation in Shawford
Across Shawford, every installation follows the same steps: a site survey, or pictures for simple jobs, then a fixed-price quote, the installation, commissioning and F-Gas records. The price is fixed up front and the records are handed over at the end. For air conditioning in Shawford, you get one team and one number from survey to sign-off, wherever you are in Hampshire.
Around Shawford, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits garden rooms, lofts and extensions that the main heating struggles with.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

FAQs for Shawford
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Shawford?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 31 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Shawford. 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 Shawford, typically Winchester City council).
Is Shawford within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How long will the installation take?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-room and ducted systems take longer, depending on the pipe routes and access, and we tell you how long on the quote.
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
Yes, most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat a room in winter. The Energy Saving Trust points out that an air-to-air heat pump is often just called air conditioning. We confirm the heating function of the model we quote.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Pricing air conditioning in Shawford
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the units are to reach
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Good pictures often save a visit. The most useful are:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. 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 drop us a line.
How the job changes from property to property
Outdoor unit positions
We think about noise when we choose the spot: keeping it clear of bedrooms and boundaries where we can and fitted so vibration does not carry into the building. It can also affect whether planning permission is needed.
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Bigger systems in buildings come with extra duties, such as a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange the inspection and get the system ready for it.
The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. If a lane or gateway near Shawford is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

“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.”
