Heat load surveys and system design in Yate
South West summers are milder on the coast, but sheltered towns and south-facing rooms still overheat, and efficient winter heating matters just as much. Every Yate quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area.
For self-builds and extensions in Yate, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Yate is about 24 miles from Gloucester and falls within our Gloucestershire coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include BS37.

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
Surveys in Yate 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.
