What affects the cost of air conditioning
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of system it is
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- How many units are involved
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- A few photos 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 in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
How we handle air conditioning in Slindon
Any installation we do in Slindon follows the same process as everywhere else we work: survey, fixed-price quote, a neat installation, full commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork. The price is fixed up front and the records are handed over at the end. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across West Sussex.
Many installs in Slindon can go ahead as permitted development, but listed buildings, conservation areas and flats often need consent first: we flag that at the survey.
Space outside is rarely the problem in a place like Slindon. The questions are more often the age of the walls, the electrics and how far the pipes need to run.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Slindon
The outdoor unit’s position is worth getting right first time. A good position keeps noise down and leaves room for servicing, and it can affect whether planning permission is needed. It’s agreed on the survey, not on the day. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Call for a fixed-price quote and we’ll explain each part.
What you get with us
- Emergency calls taken 24/7
- We reply to enquiries the same working day
- Diagnosis first, then a fixed price
- Warranty terms set out brand by brand
Homes in Slindon and air conditioning
About 35% of homes in and around Slindon have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Newer homes normally have cavity walls and loft space that make pipe runs easier, though some estates have planning conditions or covenants worth checking. 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.
Bignor Roman Villa, about 4.3 miles north, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Slindon.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Common problems we fix in Slindon
Most overheating comes from heat gained through the day. Sunshine through glazing, especially on south and west-facing rooms, adds a lot of heat, and once the room has warmed up, it holds on to it into the evening.
The things we’re asked about most include:
- A business premises that overheats in summer
- A study or office that overheats during the day
- Too many options and no clear advice
Homes near The Parish Church of St Mary are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

Slindon questions
Is Slindon in your area for air conditioning?
We do: Slindon falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Slindon?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Slindon is in the Slindon Conservation Area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Arun council, usually the authority for Slindon.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
There’s no single best type. 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. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. An outdoor unit can sometimes go on a balcony, roof or rear wall, with consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
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, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
