Heat load surveys and system design across Tyne and Wear
Every Newcastle upon Tyne quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. No two rooms in Newcastle upon Tyne gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. In the North East, sizing for winter heating and then checking summer cooling usually gives the right system.
Prices in Tyne and Wear
Our North East England guide price for heat load surveys and system design is £365–£1,145 for a standalone design pack, VAT included. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical North East England labour rates. 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. For reference, the Design pack option in Tyne and Wear (drawings and schedules for one home) usually comes to about £365–£745.

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
On a survey in Tyne and Wear 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. 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.
