New build and renovation air conditioning in Crowthorne
First-fix pipework in Crowthorne extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
For new Crowthorne extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Crowthorne sits around 10 miles from Reading, inside our Berkshire area. Homes in RG45 are all within our coverage.
