Heat load surveys and system design in Bodmin
Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks. For self-builds and extensions in Bodmin, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Every Bodmin quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Our Cornwall coverage takes in Bodmin, about 20 miles from Truro. That includes the PL31 postcode district.
Prices in Bodmin
In South West England, our guide range for heat load surveys and system design is £395–£1,250 for a standalone design pack, including VAT. It sits near the middle of UK prices. 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 £395–£795 here.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Bodmin, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
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. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
