New build and renovation air conditioning in Crawley

For new Crawley extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation.

First-fix pipework in Crawley extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Crawley is one of the main towns we cover in West Sussex, alongside Worthing and Bognor Regis. Homes in RH11 and RH77 are all within our coverage.

If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.

Working with your builder

First-fix work is about coordination, while the outdoor unit follows the normal planning rules for the property.

The survey

A survey in Crawley 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. 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.
