Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Gloucester
Top-floor flats in Gloucester feel the heat most, because the roof sits right above the bedroom. In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling.
For bedrooms in Gloucester, we place the outdoor unit at the back of the house, away from neighbours' windows. As well as Gloucester itself, our Gloucestershire coverage takes in Cheltenham, Stroud and the towns around them. We cover GL1 and the streets around them.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
On a survey in Gloucester the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. A survey in Gloucester 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.
