Ducted air conditioning in Ramsgate
In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon. Ducted systems suit Ramsgate loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway.
For a renovation in Ramsgate, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. Ramsgate is about 39 miles from Maidstone and falls within our Kent coverage. Coverage includes CT11.

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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
On a survey in Ramsgate the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. A survey in Ramsgate 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.
