Heat load surveys and system design in Broadstairs
In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon. No two rooms in Broadstairs gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing.
For self-builds and extensions in Broadstairs, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. We cover Broadstairs as part of Kent, roughly 40 miles from Maidstone. Postcode districts we cover here include CT10.

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 Broadstairs 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. Surveys in Broadstairs cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
