Heat load surveys and system design in Chorley
Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. For self-builds and extensions in Chorley, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Every Chorley quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. We cover Chorley as part of Lancashire, roughly 9 miles from Preston. We cover PR7 and the streets around them.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Chorley, 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
Surveys in Chorley cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. We book surveys in Chorley at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
