Wall-mounted air conditioning in Slough
In a semi or terrace in Slough, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Slough needs. Slough lies roughly 17 miles from Reading, and we cover it as part of Berkshire. Homes in SL1 are all within our coverage.

Guide prices around Slough run from £1,395 to £3,595 per room including VAT. South East England is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles.

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
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. Surveys in Slough cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
