Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Old Trafford

Loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms in Old Trafford gain heat through the roof all day and give it back at night. Old Trafford sits around 3 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. Postcode districts we cover here include M16 and M17.

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.
