Questions from Harpsden
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Harpsden?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 4 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Harpsden. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with South Oxfordshire council, which is normally the planning authority for Harpsden.
Do you cover smaller places like Harpsden?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.

How the job changes from property to property
Server and comms rooms
A backup unit can keep the room cool if one fails, and we can discuss how they share the load.
F-gas records and TM44
Keeping the paperwork up to date helps with inspections, and we keep yours in order.
What air conditioning will not do
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Planning permission or landlord consent on your behalf

How it works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Work in Harpsden is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
How to prepare
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

What owners can safely do
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
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. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Cooling for Harpsden businesses
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 46 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 8 schools and colleges and about 7 care, childcare and hospital premises within about 1.5 miles of central Harpsden. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
If you look after a school such as Trinity Church of England Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays. Churches and halls such as Church of St Margaret are often used a few hours at a time, which suits a system that heats or cools a space quickly, once consents are in place.
