## We work across South Manchester's full postcode spread.

### Same-week surveys
South Manchester surveys typically booked within 3–5 working days.

### Across 5 postcodes
Active in M19, M20, M21, M22 and M23 weekly.

### Full accreditation
MCS, NAPIT, RECC and Gas Safe, every credential a UK insurer and the BUS grant body expects.

Our Cheadle workshop sits at the southern edge of the city and we cover the M19, M20, M21, M22 and M23 postcodes weekly. South Manchester's housing stock is one of the most varied we work in, substantial Victorian villas through Didsbury and Chorlton, Edwardian terraces in Withington and Burnage, 1930s semis around Northenden and Sale border, and a meaningful run of post-war and council-built stock through Wythenshawe and the M22/M23 catchment.

Most of our South Manchester enquiries are retrofit UFH inside renovation projects (kitchen extensions, whole-home refurbs of Victorian villas), full heat pump conversions on tired condensing boilers, and end-to-end smart control upgrades for working-from-home households. We are also called regularly to diagnose underperforming UFH installed by other firms during the city's busy extension market.

We are local enough to South Manchester to treat the area as our home market. Surveys booked same week, fixed-price quotes within 24 hours for UFH or 3–7 days for heat pumps, and the same engineers from survey through to commissioning. No call-centre dispatch, no franchise model, no rotating subcontract crews.

Why South Manchester chooses BHL

## Why South Manchester picks a Cheshire-edge specialist over a citywide generalist.
South Manchester has plenty of citywide firms, but few that specialise specifically in underfloor heating and heat pumps. The shortlist below is what that specialism delivers in practice.

400+

### M-postcode jobs
Over 400 UFH and ASHP projects completed inside M19–M23 since 2020.

Local

### Local catchment
Several South Manchester postcodes are inside a 20-minute drive from our Cheadle base.

Fixed

### Fixed-price quoting
Quote arrives once, fixed-price, with no variation orders unless the brief itself changes.

Local property challenges

## Patterns we see across South Manchester properties.
Different streets, different eras, same recurring problems. These are the four that drive the bulk of South Manchester enquiries.

### Solid-wall Victorian villas with high heat loss
Didsbury and Chorlton's Victorian villas leak heat. Modern radiator systems are working against the building. Properly sized retrofit UFH, paired with a low-temperature heat pump, transforms running cost and comfort, without ripping the property apart.

### Extension UFH installed by non-specialists
South Manchester's extension boom has produced a lot of underperforming UFH inside otherwise excellent kitchens. Almost always a controls or balancing issue, not a pipework one, and almost always resolvable in a single visit.

### Tight terraced plot ASHP placement
Withington, Chorlton and Burnage plots are often narrow. Heat pump placement is engineered specifically against permitted-development noise and boundary rules, we don't quote installs we don't believe will pass.

### Apartment-conversion heating bottlenecks
Many South Manchester apartment conversions inherit heating systems that are wholly unsuited to modern occupancy. We re-design and re-commission these regularly.

Our Process

## A consistent five-stage method on every job.
The team that designs your system is the team that installs and commissions it, and the team that returns for service over the next decade.

01

### Free survey on site
We attend, measure every room, check existing services, and discuss your real-world comfort goals.

02

### Heat-loss design
CIBSE-compliant room-by-room model, pipe-layout drawings, manifold sizing, and a single fixed-price quote.

03

### Set-up &amp; protection
Slab scanning, full floor protection, HEPA dust extraction in place before the first cut or lift.

04

### Precision install
Same engineers from day one to handover. Pipework pressure-tested at 6 bar, manifolds plumbed, controls wired.

05

### Commission &amp; handover
Slow cure cycle, every loop balanced and recorded, plain-English walkthrough, full O&amp;M pack.
