Ducted air conditioning in Dursley
For a renovation in Dursley, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
In an older house in Dursley, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. Our Gloucestershire coverage takes in Dursley, about 14 miles from Gloucester. Homes in GL11 are all within our coverage.

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.
