Heat load surveys and system design in Brixton
In London, heat soaks into brick and concrete during the day and comes back out at night, which is when it is hardest to sleep. Every Brixton quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area.
For self-builds and extensions in Brixton, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Our London coverage takes in Brixton, about 2 miles from central London. We cover SW2 and the streets around them.

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
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. Surveys in Brixton cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
