Heat load surveys and system design in Birmingham
No two rooms in Birmingham gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Hot spells in the West Midlands are shorter but intense, especially in loft rooms and rooms with big windows.
For self-builds and extensions in Birmingham, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. As well as Birmingham itself, our West Midlands coverage takes in Coventry, Wolverhampton and the towns around them. Postcode districts we cover here include B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and 3 more.
Prices in Birmingham

Larger homes, more zones and full drawing sets for a builder are what move a design pack towards the upper figure. Typical Design pack work (drawings and schedules for one home) lands around £385–£795 in this area.

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