Heat load surveys and system design in Basingstoke
Every Basingstoke quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation.
For self-builds and extensions in Basingstoke, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Basingstoke lies roughly 28 miles from Southampton, and we cover it as part of Hampshire. Postcode districts we cover here include RG21.

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
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. A survey in Basingstoke 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.
