Before you call an engineer
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.

What we do, step by step
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. Work in Great Leighs is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.

FAQs for Great Leighs
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Great Leighs?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Great Leighs holds about 19 listed buildings and structures. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact Chelmsford council, which is typically the planning authority for Great Leighs.
