Villages like Widley often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. We check that first, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Questions from Widley
Will you come out to Widley?
Yes. Widley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning in Widley?
It can, as Widley is within about 2 miles 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.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-split, ducted and cassette systems take longer and the quote says how long to expect.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Widley.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.

Rented and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Widley and across Hampshire. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.
Why deal with it now?
For homeowners, timing can matter for VAT: installing energy-saving materials in residential accommodation is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. Whether a particular system qualifies depends on the facts and we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why book with us

Looking after your system
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
Before we leave, the system is commissioned and tested in each mode. We check it’s running as the manufacturer intends, then show you the controls and the timer so you know how to get the best from it.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, plants, bins and stored items around it restrict the airflow, which makes the whole system less efficient.
Air conditioning in Widley: the local picture
Widley is within about 2 miles of the coast. 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. About 5 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Widley, Fort Purbrook (grade II*) among them. That matters for air conditioning: permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling isn’t covered at all, so we check with the local planning authority (typically Havant council) where necessary. About 35% of homes in and around Widley were built between the wars, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 69% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age normally have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. 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.
Homes near Christ Church are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it. About 3.7 miles east stands Warblington Castle. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.
