Air Conditioning in Shoreham-by-Sea

Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Shoreham-by-Sea
A single-room split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, while a two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. Those ranges include supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation, with commercial and VRF systems priced after a survey. Most enquiries from Shoreham-by-Sea start with one hot room: a bedroom, a home office or a loft conversion. A single-room split system is often the answer, from £1,200 + VAT.
A single room takes a day in most homes, with multi-room systems taking longer depending on pipe routes.
Air conditioning in a town like Shoreham-by-Sea usually means a house, sometimes a flat or a converted building in the centre. The usual starting point is the hottest bedroom, a home office or a conservatory, with more rooms added on a multi-split if needed.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What air conditioning won’t do
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)
- A room that can’t take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Pictures of the space, the fuse board and the outside wall are a good start for a job in Shoreham-by-Sea.
- You send photos, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
How to prepare
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Advice
What an install looks like in Shoreham-by-Sea
The coast is only about 1 mile from Shoreham-by-Sea. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so we site them out of the worst of the sea wind where we can, and can suggest models with corrosion-protected coils where the manufacturer offers them.
Close to Shoreham-By-Sea station? A small study or box room used for work can normally be cooled with a single indoor unit. Living close to St Mary de Haura Church? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.

A recent job in Shoreham-by-Sea
Middle Street, Shoreham-by-Sea (BN43)
- Property
- A converted fisherman’s cottage used as a holiday let.
- Work carried out
- Installation of a marine-grade Mitsubishi Electric wall-mounted unit in the open-plan living area. The seafront location required a marine-grade unit with epoxy-coated heat exchanger fins. The installation also included additional weatherproofing of all external connections and fixings.
- Outcome
- The holiday let owner reported that summer bookings had increased significantly and that the air conditioning was specifically mentioned in guest reviews as a key feature. The marine-grade specification means no corrosion issues have been observed after three full summer seasons.

Questions from Shoreham-by-Sea
Is air conditioning in Shoreham-by-Sea permitted development?
It depends on the property. The Shoreham-by-Sea Conservation Area is close to the centre of Shoreham-by-Sea. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Shoreham-by-Sea, usually Adur council).
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Shoreham-by-Sea?
It can, as Shoreham-by-Sea is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Where does the outdoor unit go?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. Noise near bedrooms and boundaries is part of the decision, and the position can affect planning.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
It depends on the rooms and the building. Wall-mounted splits suit single rooms, multi-splits run several rooms from one outdoor unit, ducted systems hide the unit in the ceiling, and cassettes suit offices and larger rooms. We recommend one on the survey and explain why.
Different systems, different jobs
Ducted systems
Ducted systems need space for the unit and the ductwork plus an access hatch for maintenance. The survey confirms whether there’s room.
Wall-mounted split systems
A single-room split is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, with supply, fitting, commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork included. Where you sit in that range depends on the pipe run, access and electrics.
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 escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or send an email.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
