Garden room and home office air conditioning in Didcot
The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first. Garden offices used every day in Didcot need cooling in summer and efficient heat in winter.
We check the armoured supply cable on every Didcot garden room before quoting. Didcot lies roughly 10 miles from Oxford, and we cover it as part of Oxfordshire. Postcode districts we cover here include OX11.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey
A survey in Didcot 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. Surveys in Didcot cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
