Working in Stroud
Stroud is a large town in Gloucestershire, with a busy centre, retail parks and industrial estates on its edges. Gloucester is about 13 km away.
That includes premises in GL5 and GU32 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Gloucester (about 13 km), Cirencester (about 16 km) and Cheltenham (about 19 km). In Stroud, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.

How we work in Stroud
Survey and route
We check void depths and plan routes for supply and return ductwork. For sites in Stroud we confirm access and parking beforehand.
Design the air side
Grille sizes and positions are chosen for even air flow and low noise.
Install unit and ducts
The unit is hung with access for servicing; ductwork and grilles are fitted.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Before you book in Stroud
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Stroud are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Void depth
Low-profile ducted units can fit voids of around 250 mm, but ductwork adds depth. We measure the route as well as the unit position.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.

Is ducted air conditioning more expensive?
Usually a little more than a cassette of the same capacity, because of the ductwork, grilles and access panel. In return you get a much cleaner ceiling.
Is ducted AC quiet?
It can be the quietest option, because the unit is away from the room. Correct duct sizing and attenuation make the difference.
