Heat load surveys and system design in Old Trafford

For self-builds and extensions in Old Trafford, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. North West summers are cooler, so many systems here earn their keep as efficient heaters, with cooling for the warmest weeks.

Every Old Trafford quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Old Trafford is about 3 miles from Manchester and falls within our Greater Manchester coverage. That includes the M16 and M17 postcode districts.

Prices in Old Trafford

Guide prices around Old Trafford run from £375 to £1,195 for a standalone design pack including VAT. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical North West England labour rates. The design pack price depends mainly on the number of rooms and whether full drawings and equipment schedules are needed. As an example, the Design pack option (drawings and schedules for one home) would typically be £375–£745 here.

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. We book surveys in Old Trafford at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
