Ducted air conditioning in Ludlow
In an older house in Ludlow, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. Hot spells in the West Midlands are shorter but intense, especially in loft rooms and rooms with big windows.
Ducted systems suit Ludlow loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Ludlow sits around 24 miles from Telford, inside our Shropshire area. That includes the SY8 postcode district.
