Ducted air conditioning in Abergavenny
South Wales summers can be warm and humid, and winters damp, so a reversible system earns its keep all year. In an older house in Abergavenny, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work.
For a renovation in Abergavenny, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. Abergavenny lies roughly 16 miles from Newport, Gwent, and we cover it as part of Gwent. Homes in NP7 are all within our coverage.

Planning and permissions
Since 1 June 2026, Welsh permitted development rules for outdoor units closely match England's: up to 1.5 m³, two units on a detached home, one on other homes, and MCS 020a noise compliance. Listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas have extra restrictions on units facing a road.
