Before you book: heat loss surveys in Dagenham
A heat pump suits most Dagenham homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
A surveyor visits your Dagenham home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized. The survey in Dagenham includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours.
Every heat pump we quote starts with a room-by-room heat loss survey, free with installation enquiries and also available as a stand-alone report.
- Homes with an existing heat pump that seems undersized or expensive to run
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
What's included
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
Houses in Dagenham built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Dagenham quote.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK until 31 March 2027. In England most houses can have an air source heat pump under permitted development, provided the unit meets the MCS noise and siting standards; the old 1 m boundary limit was removed on 29 May 2025. We flag listed buildings, flats and sensitive conservation-area positions at survey.
Heat loss survey prices in Dagenham
Guide prices for Dagenham and the rest of Greater London are shown below, installed and inc VAT. We publish ranges rather than a single figure because design details move the price, and the written quote after survey fixes it.
| Survey | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Home survey and heat loss calculation with an installation quote | Free |
| Stand-alone heat loss survey and report | £170–£450 |
Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.
Winter daylight and heating in Dagenham
On the shortest day Dagenham gets about 7 hours 49 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 15° above the horizon at noon. Winters this far south are milder than in most of the UK, which helps a heat pump run at low flow temperatures for much of the season.

Heat loss surveys in Dagenham: questions
Do you cover Barking as well as Dagenham?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Barking, which is about 3 miles west of Dagenham, and across Greater London.
Can you service a heat pump in Dagenham that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Dagenham, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does installation take in Dagenham?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Dagenham home states the expected time.
Is the heat loss survey free?
Yes, for installation enquiries the home survey and heat loss calculation are free, and the results form the basis of your written quote. If you only want the calculation and report, for example for building plans or comparing quotes, a stand-alone heat loss survey has a guide price of £150–£400, including VAT. We confirm which applies when you book.
How long does a heat loss survey take?
A typical survey takes 1–3 hours on site, depending on the size and complexity of the home. Larger or older houses with mixed construction, extensions or many rooms take longer. The calculations and design are completed afterwards, and the results are included in your quote or stand-alone report.
