Heat load surveys and system design in Shepton Mallet
For self-builds and extensions in Shepton Mallet, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks.
Every Shepton Mallet quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Shepton Mallet sits around 27 miles from Taunton, inside our Somerset area. We cover BA4 and the streets around them.

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.

We book surveys in Shepton Mallet at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
