Real survey case study (anonymised)

Manchester mid-terrace heat pump survey for common inner-city stock

An anonymised M19 record: pre-1900 enclosed mid-terrace house, solid brick walls, gas combi baseline, and single-phase electrics in the kind of stock installers see constantly across Manchester.

Pages pulled from the generated Manchester survey pack

These are real pages from the generated survey pack for this M19 record. They show how Vertex handles a common inner-Manchester terrace as a usable installer document, not just a data dump.

Manchester terrace stock needs clear fabric and layout evidence

Much of inner Manchester is made up of older terrace stock where solid-wall assumptions, room-by-room layout, and straightforward electrics matter more than flashy equipment lists. This case study is useful because it reflects that reality.

On pre-1900 terraces, installers need direct access to wall type, layout, and heating baseline before design work starts. That is exactly the kind of structure Vertex is built to provide.

Terrace-stock evidence grouped for fast review

Fabric context

Solid brick wall type surfaced early so design assumptions were tied to the right housing stock.

Layout clarity

An eight-room terrace record that can be checked quickly by office, design, and install teams.

Ordinary electrics

Single-phase baseline documented without overcomplicating what is usually a standard terrace job.

Good Manchester proof should look like normal terrace work

For local SEO and trust, representative terrace-stock proof is more credible than unusual one-off installs. This page gives Manchester installers and buyers a grounded example of the survey quality Vertex brings to common housing stock.
