The survey
On a survey in Peterborough 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. Surveys in Peterborough cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
