Heat load surveys and system design in Formby
Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. For self-builds and extensions in Formby, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
No two rooms in Formby gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Formby lies roughly 11 miles from Liverpool, and we cover it as part of Merseyside. That includes the L37 postcode district.

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
Surveys in Formby cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. A survey in Formby 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.
