Ducted air conditioning in Coleford
Ducted systems suit Coleford loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks.
In an older house in Coleford, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. We cover Coleford as part of Gloucestershire, roughly 17 miles from Gloucester. Coverage includes GL16.

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
For most houses in Coleford, 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 free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
