Ducted air conditioning in Wallsend
Ducted systems suit Wallsend loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Cooler North East summers mean cooling is mostly needed in lofts, conservatories and rooms with large windows.
For a renovation in Wallsend, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. Our Tyne and Wear coverage takes in Wallsend, about 3 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne. That includes the NE28 postcode district.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%.

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
For most houses in Wallsend, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
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. A survey in Wallsend usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
