Heat load surveys and system design in Corby
In the East Midlands, one system that cools in summer and heats efficiently in winter makes good use of the investment. For self-builds and extensions in Corby, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Every Corby quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Corby sits around 19 miles from Northampton, inside our Northamptonshire area. We cover NN17 and the streets around them.
Prices in Corby
Our East Midlands guide price for heat load surveys and system design is £380–£1,195 for a standalone design pack, VAT included. Labour rates in the East Midlands keep this slightly under the national middle. 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 £380–£745 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
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 Corby 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.
