Ducted air conditioning in Godalming
For a renovation in Godalming, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
In an older house in Godalming, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. Godalming sits around 10 miles from Woking, inside our Surrey area. We cover GU7 and the streets around them.
Prices in Godalming
Ducted air conditioning in Godalming typically comes in at £6,645–£18,245 per system including VAT, based on South East England rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. As an example, the Zoned option (motorised dampers or two units for separate floors or room groups) would typically be £9,095–£13,345 here.

Planning and permissions
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.
