Heat load surveys and system design across East Sussex

Every Brighton quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. No two rooms in Brighton gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first.

Prices in East Sussex

Heat load surveys and system design in East Sussex typically come in at £495–£1,495 for a standalone design pack including VAT, based on South East England rates. South East England is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range. 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 £495–£945 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

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 East Sussex 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.

FAQ

Heat load surveys and system design in East Sussex

Will the outdoor unit need planning permission in East Sussex?

Most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it meets the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions. Flats and listed buildings usually need permission or consent. We check on survey.

How much do heat load surveys and system design cost in East Sussex?

Our South East England guide range is £495–£1,495 for a standalone design pack, including VAT.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new installations on the mainland. The survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation.

Which towns in East Sussex do you cover?

All of East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings and Hove. Each town has its own page below with local details.

Why can't you just quote from floor area?

Two rooms the same size can need very different units because of glazing, orientation and use. Sizing from floor area alone is the main cause of systems that never feel right.

How long does a survey take?

One to two hours for most homes.
