Heat load surveys and system design in Crewe
For self-builds and extensions in Crewe, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
Every Crewe quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Crewe sits around 21 miles from Warrington, inside our Cheshire area. Coverage includes CW1.
Prices in Crewe
Guide prices around Crewe run from £375 to £1,195 for a standalone design pack including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in North West England tend to be. 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 £375–£745 here.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
A survey in Crewe 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. On a survey in Crewe the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
