Heat load surveys and system design in Consett
North East summers are cooler, so heat pump heating is often the main draw, with cooling for warm spells. For self-builds and extensions in Consett, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Every Consett quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Consett lies roughly 11 miles from Durham, and we cover it as part of County Durham. That includes the DH8 postcode district.

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
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. A survey in Consett 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.
