Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Dursley
In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling. If your home in Dursley is Victorian, Edwardian or older, a console or concealed system often works better than a high wall unit.
For period homes in Dursley, we look at consoles in place of radiators and ducted units from the loft before anything else. We cover Dursley as part of Gloucestershire, roughly 14 miles from Gloucester. Coverage includes GL11.
Prices in Dursley
For Dursley, expect roughly £1,650 to £7,950 per home, one room upwards, VAT included, adjusted for typical South West England rates. That is broadly in line with national guide prices. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. Typical Concealed work (ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms) lands around £3,450–£5,450 in this area.
Console
Low-level console in place of a radiator, rear outdoor unit.
Concealed
Ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms.
Mixed

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%.
Listed building consent
Listed homes in Dursley need listed building consent from the council before any work, and permitted development does not apply to them. We plan low-impact routes, keep outdoor units out of sight and provide the details a consent application needs. 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.
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 Dursley 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.
