Heat load surveys and system design in Kettering
Every Kettering quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. 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 Kettering, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Our Northamptonshire coverage takes in Kettering, about 12 miles from Northampton. Postcode districts we cover here include NN16.
Prices in Kettering
Budget around £380–£1,195 for a standalone design pack including VAT for heat load surveys and system design in and around Kettering. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in the East Midlands tend to be. Larger homes, more zones and full drawing sets for a builder are what move a design pack towards the upper figure. As an example, the Design pack option (drawings and schedules for one home) would typically be £380–£745 here.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
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. We book surveys in Kettering at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
