Heat load surveys and system design in Highbury
Many London homes are flats or tall terraces, where heat rises to the top floor and the bedrooms bear the brunt of a hot spell. Every Highbury quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area.
For self-builds and extensions in Highbury, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. We cover Highbury as part of London, roughly 4 miles from central London. Homes in N5 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Highbury
Our London guide price for heat load surveys and system design is £495–£1,645 for a standalone design pack, VAT included. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. Larger homes, more zones and full drawing sets for a builder are what move a design pack towards the upper figure. Typical Design pack work (drawings and schedules for one home) lands around £495–£1,045 in this area.

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
We book surveys in Highbury at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. A survey in Highbury 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.
