Heat load surveys and system design in Ferndown
South West summers are milder on the coast, but sheltered towns and south-facing rooms still overheat, and efficient winter heating matters just as much. For self-builds and extensions in Ferndown, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Every Ferndown quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Ferndown is about 6 miles from Bournemouth and falls within our Dorset coverage. That includes the BH22 postcode district.
Prices in Ferndown
Our South West England guide price for heat load surveys and system design is £395–£1,250 for a standalone design pack, VAT included. That is broadly in line with national guide prices. The design pack price depends mainly on the number of rooms and whether full drawings and equipment schedules are needed. As an example, the Design pack option (drawings and schedules for one home) would typically be £395–£795 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. Surveys in Ferndown cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
