Heat load surveys and system design in Hertfordshire

Heat load surveys and system design across Hertfordshire

For self-builds and extensions in Watford, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. No two rooms in Watford gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Low rainfall and long summer days in the East of England make south-facing rooms the first to overheat.

Prices in Hertfordshire

In the East of England, our guide range for heat load surveys and system design is £445–£1,395 for a standalone design pack, including VAT. The East of England is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range. 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. For reference, the Design pack option in Hertfordshire (drawings and schedules for one home) usually comes to about £445–£895.

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

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