Multi-split air conditioning in Thatcham
Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. Multi-split is a good fit for Thatcham flats and maisonettes where only a balcony or one rear wall is available.
In a house in Thatcham with a usable loft, multi-split pipes can often run through it so the front stays clear. Our Berkshire coverage takes in Thatcham, about 13 miles from Reading. That includes the RG18 postcode district.

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.

We book surveys in Thatcham at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
