Heat loss survey in Fleetwood: what to expect
Homes around Fleetwood range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
For Fleetwood homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction. Homeowners in Fleetwood 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
- Homes with an existing heat pump that seems undersized or expensive to run
What's included
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
The survey in Fleetwood 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
Homes in Fleetwood can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.
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 Fleetwood
These are guide prices for Lancashire, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.
| Survey | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Home survey and heat loss calculation with an installation quote | Free |
| Stand-alone heat loss survey and report | £150–£390 |
Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.

- We commission the heat pump, show you the controls and register the installation.
Heat loss surveys in Fleetwood: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Fleetwood that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Fleetwood, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does installation take in Fleetwood?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Fleetwood home states the expected time.
What size heat pump does a Fleetwood home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Fleetwood home.
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.
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.
