Ducted air conditioning uses an indoor unit hidden in the ceiling void or a plant space, connected by ductwork to grilles or slot diffusers in the room.
Sudbury and surrounding areas
In a town like Sudbury, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Colchester is about 20 km away.
Postcode districts we cover in Sudbury include CO10, DE6 and HA0. Neighbouring towns we cover include Colchester, Haverhill and Braintree. Buildings across Suffolk range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
Included as standard
- Survey of void depth and duct routes
- Ducted unit selection by capacity and external static pressure
- Access panel for servicing
- Pipework, condensate and controls
- Air-flow balancing and commissioning

How we work in Sudbury
Survey and route
We check void depths and plan routes for supply and return ductwork.
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. In Sudbury we agree timings around your opening hours.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Things to check in Sudbury
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
Working hours
Most Sudbury businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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.

Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Yes. Alongside Sudbury, we also cover Colchester, Haverhill and Braintree. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Sudbury?
All of them, including CO10, DE6 and HA0. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Can one ducted unit serve several rooms?
It can, but every room then shares one thermostat. Rooms with different uses are better on separate units or zones.
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.
