Ducted air conditioning in Seaford
Ducted systems suit Seaford loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.
For a renovation in Seaford, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. We cover Seaford as part of East Sussex, roughly 11 miles from Brighton. Homes in BN25 are all within our coverage.

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
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. A survey in Seaford 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.
