About air conditioning in Slough
Think of it as diagnose, treat and sign off: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. The sign-off includes testing every mode, showing you the controls and handing over the F-Gas records. The work covers multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and VRF systems, and people most often call us about fans and portables that don’t keep up and a business premises that overheats in summer.
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems.
- 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.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where necessary.
- 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.

Where we install in Slough
Planning rules are the same across England, Slough included: cooling-only units aren’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.
Slough is within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. Every job starts with a site survey or pictures, then a fixed-price quote.
Slough: With historic houses such as Windsor Castle about 2.1 miles south, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. Living close to St Michael and All Angels? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.
Different systems, different jobs
Outdoor unit positions
We think about noise when we choose the spot: away from bedroom windows and neighbours’ windows where possible and fitted so vibration does not carry into the building. Position can also affect planning.
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. Long pipe runs, difficult access and a new circuit affect where your job sits in the range.
Why deal with it now?
Fans and portables move warm air around rather than removing it. A properly installed split moves heat outside, keeps the noisy parts out of the room and most of the time heats too, so it works for you in winter as well.
What your quote should include
- What’s in the price and what is not
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air conditioning will not do:
- Draughts and missing insulation
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid setting it far colder than you need
- Do not cover or box in the outdoor unit
- Let filters dry fully before you put them back
- Have the system serviced once a year
The handover includes the records you need: the commissioning details, the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information. Keep them with the manual, because the manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.
Have the system serviced once a year. A service cleans what you cannot reach and picks up faults before they stop the system, and it keeps any warranty servicing conditions in order.
Questions from Slough
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do I need planning permission?
It depends on the system and the property. In England, an air source heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets set conditions, including the MCS 020(a) noise check, while a unit that only cools isn’t covered and needs checking with the council. Listed buildings, conservation areas and flats have extra limits. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump 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.
How much is air conditioning for one room?
From £1,200 + VAT for a single-room split, with a typical range of £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. The price includes supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation, and we fix it after a survey or from your photos.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
