Housing stock around Exeter

Exeter and the surrounding East Devon villages mix Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estates and newer outskirts builds. Many older homes have solid walls, limited loft depth, and floor build-ups that constrain traditional screed underfloor heating.

Heating context

A large share of the city is on mains gas, but surrounding villages and some edge-of-city properties still run on oil or LPG — where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme uplift can matter.

What we help people in Exeter check

Calculator outputs are planning estimates only — not MCS design certificates and not fixed installer quotes. Final design still needs a proper survey.
