Ducted air conditioning in Kidsgrove
Ducted systems suit Kidsgrove loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Hot spells in the West Midlands are shorter but intense, especially in loft rooms and rooms with big windows.
In an older house in Kidsgrove, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. We cover Kidsgrove as part of Staffordshire, roughly 6 miles from Stoke-on-Trent. We cover ST7 and the streets around them.

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.
