Ducted air conditioning in Lichfield
For a renovation in Lichfield, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. Hot spells in the West Midlands are shorter but intense, especially in loft rooms and rooms with big windows.
Ducted systems suit Lichfield loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Lichfield is about 27 miles from Stoke-on-Trent and falls within our Staffordshire coverage. That includes the WS13 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.

At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
