Heat load surveys and system design in Chatham
No two rooms in Chatham gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.
For self-builds and extensions in Chatham, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. We cover Chatham as part of Kent, roughly 8 miles from Maidstone. Homes in ME4 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Chatham
Heat load surveys and system design in Chatham typically come in at £495–£1,495 for a standalone design pack including VAT, based on South East England rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. 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 Chatham (drawings and schedules for one home) usually comes to about £495–£945.

Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey
On a survey in Chatham 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. A survey in Chatham 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.
