Heat load surveys and system design in Strood
For self-builds and extensions in Strood, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.
No two rooms in Strood gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Strood is about 9 miles from Maidstone and falls within our Kent coverage. That includes the ME2 postcode district.

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
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. A survey in Strood 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.
