Heat load surveys and system design in Grays
Bright summers in the East of England mean solar gain through glass is usually the biggest load to design for. For self-builds and extensions in Grays, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Every Grays quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Our Essex coverage takes in Grays, about 17 miles from Southend-on-Sea. Coverage includes RM17.

Larger homes, more zones and full drawing sets for a builder are what move a design pack towards the upper figure. Typical Design pack work (drawings and schedules for one home) lands around £445–£895 in this area.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Grays, 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
A survey in Grays 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. 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.
