Heat load surveys and system design in Sale
Every Sale quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
For self-builds and extensions in Sale, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Sale is about 5 miles from Manchester and falls within our Greater Manchester coverage. Coverage includes M33.
Prices in Sale
In North West England, our guide range for heat load surveys and system design is £375–£1,195 for a standalone design pack, including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in North West England tend to be. A standalone design pack is priced on the size of the home, the number of rooms and how much drawing work your builder or architect needs. On our North West England figures, the Design pack option (drawings and schedules for one home) is about £375–£745.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
A survey in Sale 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. On a survey in Sale 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.

Here is what is included on every job in Sale:
