Heat load surveys and system design in Rochester
Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. For self-builds and extensions in Rochester, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Every Rochester quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Rochester is about 8 miles from Maidstone and falls within our Kent coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include ME1.
Prices in Rochester
Heat load surveys and system design in Rochester 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. The design pack price depends mainly on the number of rooms and whether full drawings and equipment schedules are needed. On our South East England figures, the Design pack option (drawings and schedules for one home) is about £495–£945.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Rochester, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
A survey in Rochester 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. We book surveys in Rochester at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
