The Engineering Toolkit
The room-by-room heat-loss surveyor and the on-site calculators below are live today, with the maths run on our servers and checked against the standards. Each one is a working aid that supports — never replaces — your own checks against the standards (BS 6891, BS 5440 and the rest) and your Gas Safe competence.
Gas rate & heat input
Burner heat input from a timed meter reading: metric or imperial, gross or net.
BS 6891 pipe sizing
Size gas runs with pressure-drop limits so the appliance gets its working pressure.
Combustion air ventilation
Free-air vent sizing for the appliance and the room it sits in.
Expansion vessel & DHW cylinder
Right-size the vessel for the system volume and the cylinder for the household.
Chemical dosing
Inhibitor or cleaner dose by the system volume. (IGEM/UP/1 purge volumes are coming soon.)
Room-by-room heat-loss surveyor
Walk the property, capture each room, and build a heat-loss survey for sizing and quotes.
Win the Heat-Pump Job
From the first quote to the grant paperwork — know the property, check the grant, and land on the right portal with your details ready.
EPC lookup & auto-prefill
Pull the property’s official EPC — band, floor area, fabric — straight from the government register into your heat-loss survey and grant check. Where a registered EPC exists, you know the property before you knock.
Boiler Upgrade Scheme checker
An indicative BUS check with the current grant amounts — £7,500 air- and ground-source, £2,500 air-to-air, £5,000 biomass. Clearly indicative: Ofgem decides, and your MCS-certified installer makes the claim.
Submission Assistant
When the job’s ready to register, jump to the right official portal — BUS, MCS, Gas Safe or Building Control — with the steps, deadlines and your job details laid out ready to copy across. You submit; nothing is sent for you.
Get Paid Every Way

Compliance in a Few Taps
The certificates and audit trails that protect you — filled in on your phone, signed on site, and sealed so nobody can quietly change them later.
Gas Safe CP12, CP14 & CP17
The core gas safety records, created and digitally signed on the job.
Benchmark & analyser readings
Complete your Benchmark log and enter analyser readings by hand. Check each reading and its units against your analyser or printout before saving.

A second pair of hands, not a gimmick
Ask Mate anything about your own jobs, quotes and customers. It can only read, never change. We never keep your questions, and nothing is ever posted anywhere without you pressing the button.
- Ask Mate. Ask Mate about your jobs, invoices and customers. It can show links to the records you are allowed to open. It cannot change your records. Check its answer before acting. Solo plan and up.
- Point your camera at it. A business card, your van, a page of your paper diary — we read the details off the photo and type them in for you.
- Review-first social drafts. Finish a job and we draft a tidy before/after post for you to check and approve — never auto-posted without you.
- Your questions stay private. We never store what you ask or what Mate answers. The fine print lives on our privacy page, in plain English.
