Heat load surveys and system design in Wantage
Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. No two rooms in Wantage gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing.
Every Wantage quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. We cover Wantage as part of Oxfordshire, roughly 13 miles from Oxford. That includes the OX12 postcode district.

South East England is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range. A standalone design pack is priced on the size of the home, the number of rooms and how much drawing work your builder or architect needs.

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
On a survey in Wantage the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. A survey in Wantage 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.
