Heat load surveys and system design in Lytham St Annes
Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. Every Lytham St Annes quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area.
For self-builds and extensions in Lytham St Annes, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Lytham St Annes sits around 12 miles from Preston, inside our Lancashire area. That includes the FY8 and FY0 postcode districts.

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. We book surveys in Lytham St Annes at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
