Ducted air conditioning in Glastonbury
In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling. Ducted systems suit Glastonbury loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway.
In an older house in Glastonbury, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. We cover Glastonbury as part of Somerset, roughly 19 miles from Taunton. That includes the BA6 postcode district.

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.
