Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Bognor Regis
If your Bognor Regis home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first.
For period homes in Bognor Regis, we look at consoles in place of radiators and ducted units from the loft before anything else. Bognor Regis lies roughly 31 miles from Crawley, and we cover it as part of West Sussex. Coverage includes PO21.

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%.
Listed building consent
Listed homes in Bognor Regis need listed building consent from the council before any work, and permitted development does not apply to them. We plan low-impact routes, keep outdoor units out of sight and provide the details a consent application needs. For most houses in Bognor Regis, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. Surveys in Bognor Regis cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
