Heat load surveys and system design in Southport
For self-builds and extensions in Southport, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
No two rooms in Southport gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Southport lies roughly 16 miles from Liverpool, and we cover it as part of Merseyside. That includes the PR8 postcode district.
Prices in Southport
Guide prices around Southport run from £375 to £1,195 for a standalone design pack including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in North West England tend to be. The design pack price depends mainly on the number of rooms and whether full drawings and equipment schedules are needed. As an example, the Design pack option (drawings and schedules for one home) would typically be £375–£745 here.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Southport, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. A survey in Southport 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.
