Air con installers in Upper Basildon
Single-room systems are 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, and commercial VRF systems are priced after a survey. Need an air conditioning installer for Upper Basildon? We’re based in East Grinstead and cover London and the South East, as an F-Gas certified company with NICEIC approval.
Most installations here are a wall-mounted indoor unit, a short pipe run through the wall and an outdoor unit on the back or side of the property, with the drain run planned so it never drips where it shouldn’t.
Homes around Upper Basildon usually have room outside for an outdoor unit. More often it’s the walls, the electrics and the length of the pipe run that need thinking about.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Your questions about air conditioning in Upper Basildon
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Basildon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Will air conditioning in Upper Basildon need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Around 14 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Upper Basildon. 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 is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at West Berkshire council, normally the authority for Upper Basildon.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Work in Upper Basildon is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- 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.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Related advice
Before you call an engineer
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
- 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)
If you’re not sure, just phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
