Heat load surveys and system design in Shirley
Hot spells in the West Midlands are shorter but intense, especially in loft rooms and rooms with big windows. No two rooms in Shirley gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing.
Every Shirley quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Shirley lies roughly 6 miles from Birmingham, and we cover it as part of the West Midlands. That includes the B90 postcode district.
Prices in Shirley
Our West Midlands guide price for heat load surveys and system design is £385–£1,195 for a standalone design pack, VAT included. It sits near the middle of UK prices. 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. On our West Midlands figures, the Design pack option (drawings and schedules for one home) is about £385–£795.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Shirley, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
A survey in Shirley 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. We book surveys in Shirley at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
