Heat load surveys and system design in St Andrews
For self-builds and extensions in St Andrews, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around.
No two rooms in St Andrews gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. St Andrews lies roughly 31 miles from Dunfermline, and we cover it as part of Fife. Homes in KY16 are all within our coverage.

Planning and permissions
Outdoor units on Scottish homes can often be installed without a planning application, but the conditions differ from England's, so we confirm the rules for your property at survey.
The survey
On a survey in St Andrews the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. We book surveys in St Andrews at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
