Heat loss survey for Leyton homes
Every property in Leyton is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
For Leyton homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction. Homeowners in Leyton thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size.
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.
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
What's included
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
The survey in Leyton includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours.
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 Leyton quote.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Since 29 May 2025, permitted development in England allows up to two air source heat pumps on a house, each up to 1.5 m³, with no blanket 1 m boundary rule — the installation must still meet the MCS planning standards, including the noise check. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation-area positions need extra consent, which we check at survey.
What to budget for heat loss surveys in Leyton
Guide prices for Leyton 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.
How long is the heating season in Leyton?
On the shortest day Leyton 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.

- We book a survey in Leyton; the surveyor measures rooms, windows and radiators and looks at cylinder space.
- The design and quote arrive in writing, including radiator changes and the outdoor unit position.
- On installation days the old system is removed and the new one fitted and filled.
- We commission the heat pump, show you the controls and register the installation.
Heat loss surveys in Leyton: questions
How long does installation take in Leyton?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Leyton home states the expected time.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Leyton?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Leyton home gives a room-by-room list.
Can you service a heat pump in Leyton that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Leyton, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
Can I use the heat loss report to get other quotes?
Yes. A stand-alone heat loss report is yours to use, including sharing it with other installers so their quotes are based on the same figures. Comparing quotes like for like makes it easier to see differences in equipment, radiator upgrades and workmanship terms. The report states the assumptions used wherever construction could not be confirmed.
