Heat load surveys and system design in Gateshead
Every Gateshead quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Cold, windy North East winters favour a well-sized heat pump with an outdoor unit sheltered from the prevailing wind.
No two rooms in Gateshead gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. We cover Gateshead as part of Tyne and Wear. We cover NE8 and the streets around them.

Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey

Surveys in Gateshead cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
