Ducted air conditioning in Cramlington
Cooler North East summers mean cooling is mostly needed in lofts, conservatories and rooms with large windows. In an older house in Cramlington, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work.
Ducted systems suit Cramlington loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Cramlington is about 4 miles from Blyth and falls within our Northumberland coverage. We cover NE23 and the streets around them.

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.
