Heat load surveys and system design in Washwood Heath
In the West Midlands, sizing for winter heating first and then checking summer cooling usually gives the best all-year system. For self-builds and extensions in Washwood Heath, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
No two rooms in Washwood Heath gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Washwood Heath lies roughly 3 miles from Birmingham, and we cover it as part of the West Midlands. Homes in B8 and B9 are all within our coverage.

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.
The survey
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. On a survey in Washwood Heath 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.
