Ducted air conditioning in Wilmslow
Ducted systems suit Wilmslow loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year.
For a renovation in Wilmslow, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. Wilmslow is about 15 miles from Warrington and falls within our Cheshire coverage. Coverage includes SK9.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey
A survey in Wilmslow 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. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
