Heat load surveys and system design in Coleford
In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling. For self-builds and extensions in Coleford, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
No two rooms in Coleford gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Coleford is about 17 miles from Gloucester and falls within our Gloucestershire coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include GL16.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Coleford, 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
Surveys in Coleford cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. 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.
