Heat load surveys and system design in Shrewsbury
Hot spells in the West Midlands are shorter but intense, especially in loft rooms and rooms with big windows. Every Shrewsbury quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area.
No two rooms in Shrewsbury gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. We cover Shrewsbury as part of Shropshire, roughly 13 miles from Telford. Homes in SY1 are all within our coverage.

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 Shrewsbury 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 Shrewsbury 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.
