Heat load surveys and system design in Finchley
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. No two rooms in Finchley gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing.
For self-builds and extensions in Finchley, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Finchley lies roughly 8 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. We cover N3 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
A survey in Finchley 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. Surveys in Finchley cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
