Heat load surveys and system design in Battersea
London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset. For self-builds and extensions in Battersea, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
No two rooms in Battersea gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Battersea is about 2 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include SW11.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Battersea, 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
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 Battersea 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.
