Heat load surveys and system design in Blackheath
The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights. For self-builds and extensions in Blackheath, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Every Blackheath quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Blackheath lies roughly 6 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. That includes the SE3 postcode district.

Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey
Surveys in Blackheath cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. On a survey in Blackheath the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
