Budget roughly £515–£2,550 per project ex VAT in Swindon. For a typical job — design package for a 300–800 m² office — expect £1,050–£2,550 plus VAT. Your exact price is fixed in writing before any work starts.
An HVAC design and heat load survey works out how much heating and cooling each space needs — from occupancy, equipment, lighting, glazing, orientation and the building fabric — and sets out the system type, unit sizes and positions, pipe and duct routes and controls in a written specification.
Working in Swindon
Swindon is one of the main commercial centres in Wiltshire, with city-centre offices, retail streets, hospitality venues and business parks on its edges.
Postcode districts we cover in Swindon include DY3, GL51, SN1, SN25, SN26 and SN38. We also cover Cirencester, Chippenham and Melksham, all within easy reach of Swindon. Buildings across Wiltshire range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

Points to plan for in Swindon
Coordination
Ceiling, lighting, sprinkler and electrical layouts are coordinated early.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Swindon often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Diversity
Not every room peaks at once; good design accounts for diversity so central plant is not oversized.
Leased premises
If your Swindon premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Types of premises we cover in Swindon
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
