Practical project planning from the outset
Roof and land assessed
We check the physical space needed for panels or ground collectors.
Heating equipment reviewed
We include current boilers, emitters and hot-water needs in the plan.
Travel details considered
We use clear access information to prepare the right property visit.
Match the technology to the building and site
Solar panels, ground source heat pumps and oil boilers each place different demands on a property. We carry out surveys in Cumbria that consider roof orientation and shading, available ground, machinery access, existing heating and internal plant space. We also discuss what you want the project to achieve, from generating electricity to replacing ageing heating equipment. Reviewing those details before specification helps us focus on equipment that can be installed, accessed and maintained sensibly.
Plan the visit before setting off
Travel for work in Cumbria is arranged from our Hexham base, so a detailed initial enquiry matters. Tell us about access roads, parking, roof height, land constraints, current heating and the proposed equipment area. Ground source projects need especially clear information about machinery routes and available land. For oil boiler replacement, include the boiler and tank details if known. We use this information to plan the survey scope and provide a free quote once the property requirements are clear.
Frequently asked questions
What should we include in a ground source enquiry?
Describe the available land, access for machinery, property size, current heating and known site restrictions. This helps us prepare, but we still need a property assessment before designing a collector.
Can we request solar and oil boiler work at one property?
Yes. We can discuss both needs and determine whether one wider survey or separate technical visits are more suitable. Each system is assessed on its own requirements and its place within the property.
Why are detailed access notes important before the visit?
They help us plan travel, parking and movement of people or equipment. Access can affect survey time and project feasibility, particularly where groundworks, roof work or external boiler positions are involved.
