Garden room and home office air conditioning in Horfield
Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks. Garden offices used every day in Horfield need cooling in summer and efficient heat in winter.
We check the armoured supply cable on every Horfield garden room before quoting. Horfield is part of our Bristol coverage. That includes the BS7 postcode district.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. A survey in Horfield usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
