Heat load surveys and system design in Reading
The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first. For self-builds and extensions in Reading, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Every Reading quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Reading is one of the main towns we cover in Berkshire, alongside Slough and Bracknell. Coverage includes RG1, RG6 and RG30.
Prices in Reading
Guide prices around Reading run from £495 to £1,495 for a standalone design pack including VAT. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting South East England labour rates and parking and access costs. Larger homes, more zones and full drawing sets for a builder are what move a design pack towards the upper figure. As an example, the Design pack option (drawings and schedules for one home) would typically be £495–£945 here.

Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
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. We book surveys in Reading at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.

- Room-by-room heat gain and heat loss
