Ducted air conditioning in Castleford
In Yorkshire, south-facing lofts and glazed extensions are where summer cooling makes the biggest difference. Ducted systems suit Castleford loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway.
For a renovation in Castleford, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. Castleford is about 9 miles from Leeds and falls within our West Yorkshire coverage. That includes the WF10 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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
