Things to check in Thatcham
Working hours
Most Thatcham businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Thatcham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Leased premises
If your Thatcham premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
FAQs for Thatcham
How much does commercial air conditioning cost in Thatcham?
A single wall-mounted split typically costs £1,650–£2,795 plus VAT installed in Thatcham, and a ceiling cassette £2,450–£5,695 per unit. A small shop or office with two to four indoor units usually comes to £5,695–£18,995 plus VAT.
Do you also cover Newbury, Basingstoke and Reading?
Yes. Alongside Thatcham, we also cover Newbury, Basingstoke and Reading. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations and replacements on the UK mainland. Service, repair and inspection visits are priced before we book them.
Which refrigerant do new systems use?
Most new small split systems use R32, because new single splits under 3 kg in Great Britain cannot use refrigerants with a GWP of 750 or more. Larger systems vary by equipment.
Do you service systems you did not install?
Yes. We service most commercial makes and models; tell us the make and model if you know them.
