Heat load surveys and system design across Cambridgeshire
Every Peterborough quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. For self-builds and extensions in Peterborough, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Long sunny spells in the East of England put conservatories and top-floor rooms under real pressure.
Prices in Cambridgeshire
Our East of England guide price for heat load surveys and system design is £445–£1,395 for a standalone design pack, VAT included. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in the East of England. A standalone design pack is priced on the size of the home, the number of rooms and how much drawing work your builder or architect needs. As an example, the Design pack option (drawings and schedules for one home) would typically be £445–£895 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. A survey in Cambridgeshire 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.
