Wickham Common: your questions answered
Can I get a fixed-price quote for air conditioning in Wickham Common?
The easiest way is to give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us with a few details and photos. Straightforward work can be priced remotely. Bigger jobs get a survey and a written fixed price.
Can you do air conditioning in Wickham Common?
Yes. Wickham Common is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Which type of system should I choose?
It depends on the rooms and the building. A split suits one room, a multi-split several, a ducted system hides the unit, and a cassette spreads air across larger rooms. We recommend one on the survey and explain why.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. Too small, and it runs flat out; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy and we explain the output we recommend.
Air conditioning in Wickham Common, done properly
A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and our NICEIC approval means we install and certify it ourselves. A lot of the calls we get from Wickham Common are about one room that’s too hot to sleep or work in. That is normally a single wall-mounted split, from £1,200 + VAT.
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 condensate drained away safely.
In a village like Wickham Common, many homes are older, and some are listed. We check that first, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
- Keep the handover documents somewhere safe
- Report drips, noises or error codes straight away
If anything isn’t right after we’ve gone, call us on the same number. Let us know what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk it through with you.
Set it and leave it. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste and keep doors and windows shut while it runs.
Homes in Wickham Common and air conditioning
About 63 miles out from central London, Wickham Common is part of the South East area we work across. About 53% of homes in and around Wickham Common have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 61% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Newer homes are often easier to fit, with cavity walls and space in the loft for pipework. With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it.
Around Church of St Nicholas, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.

What we are called out for in Wickham Common
Most overheating comes from heat gained through the day. Sun through large windows, roof lights and glazed doors is the biggest source in many rooms, and once the room has warmed up, it holds on to it into the evening.
Common reasons people call us include:
- Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
A loft bedroom or a glazed extension is often the room that prompts the first call.

How the job changes from property to property
Electrical supply
The fuse board is looked at during the survey, so the quote covers any electrical work needed. An older board may need extra work and we’ll tell you if yours does.
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 and prepare for it.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Visits to Wickham Common are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

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.”
