Ducted air conditioning in Newburn
Cooler North East summers mean cooling is mostly needed in lofts, conservatories and rooms with large windows. In an older house in Newburn, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work.
Ducted systems suit Newburn loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. We cover Newburn as part of Tyne and Wear, roughly 5 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne. That includes the NE15 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.
