Air conditioning in Reigate

Yes, Tempest installs and services air conditioning across Reigate (RH2) and the wider Reigate & Banstead borough. We're F-Gas registered and used to working sympathetically within Reigate's conservation area, handling installations, annual servicing and repairs on all major brands.

Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Reigate?

Reigate falls under Reigate & Banstead Borough Council and much of the town centre is a designated conservation area. Within a conservation area, permitted-development rights are restricted and an external condenser on a wall or roof slope fronting a highway will normally need prior approval. Elsewhere in RH2, most domestic installs are permitted development if the unit meets the MCS 020 noise limit of 42 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window. We design condenser positions to keep units off street-facing elevations within the conservation area.

Local & trusted

Reigate is around 18 miles and roughly 40 minutes from our Guildford base via the A25, within our east-Surrey service area for installation, servicing and repairs.

We're F-Gas registered and fully insured. With much of Reigate town centre in a conservation area, we plan every install around those controls, keeping condensers discreet and avoiding street-facing plant on period and listed properties.

Local landmarks: Local anchors include the RH2 postcode, Reigate Hill and the North Downs, Priory Park, Reigate railway station and the historic Bell Street and High Street in the town centre.

Why Reigate needs cooling

Reigate's position on the warm, sheltered southern flank of the North Downs leaves south-facing homes and offices exposed to strong sun, and period houses with large sash windows often overheat in upstairs rooms. The conservation-area limits on altering building fabric mean cooling is frequently the most practical way to keep heritage homes comfortable.

Best air conditioning for Reigate homes

Reigate has a high concentration of period property, including Victorian and Edwardian villas and older cottages around the centre, plus substantial Edwardian and interwar detached homes on the slopes below the Downs. Solid-wall period homes need careful drilling and discreet rear condensers, while the larger detached houses suit multi-split or ducted systems delivering comfort cooling across several rooms.

Air conditioning in Reigate — FAQs

Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Reigate's conservation area?
Within Reigate's conservation area an external condenser fronting a highway usually needs prior approval, and listed buildings may need listed-building consent. We design discreet rear or side siting to keep units off street-facing elevations and advise on the planning position before any work.
Can air conditioning be installed without spoiling a period home in Reigate?
Yes. We use slim high-wall or ducted indoor units, careful concealed cable routing and discreet rear condensers so the system stays sympathetic to period features. For listed properties we plan the design around the relevant heritage consents.
