Heat load surveys and system design in Waltham Abbey
The East of England is one of the sunniest and driest parts of the UK, which makes glazed rooms and lofts hard to keep cool. For self-builds and extensions in Waltham Abbey, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Every Waltham Abbey quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Waltham Abbey is about 32 miles from Southend-on-Sea and falls within our Essex coverage. We cover EN9 and the streets around them.

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
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. A survey in Waltham Abbey 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.
