Conservatory air conditioning in Sudbury
Low rainfall and long summer days in the East of England make south-facing rooms the first to overheat. In Sudbury, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory.
If your conservatory in Sudbury faces south, that is where overheating is worst. Sudbury is about 18 miles from Ipswich and falls within our Suffolk coverage. That includes the CO10 postcode district.

For most houses in Sudbury, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
A survey in Sudbury 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. We book surveys in Sudbury at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
