Heat load surveys and system design in Diss
Bright summers in the East of England mean solar gain through glass is usually the biggest load to design for. Every Diss quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area.
For self-builds and extensions in Diss, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Diss is about 19 miles from Norwich and falls within our Norfolk coverage. That includes the IP22 postcode district.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Diss, 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
A survey in Diss 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. We book surveys in Diss at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
