Solar installers in Southend-on-Sea
Southend is a unitary authority, so planning and building control are handled by the city council rather than Essex County Council. The city's housing is overwhelmingly Edwardian and inter-war — long terraces and semis in Westcliff, Prittlewell and Southchurch, larger houses and bungalows in Leigh and Thorpe Bay, and 1960s–80s estates towards Shoeburyness.
Working across Southend-on-Sea
As a seafront city it has the highest salt exposure of anywhere we work, and we specify accordingly. Leigh-on-Sea's Old Town is a conservation area; the rest of the city is mostly straightforward permitted development.
Typical roofs and housing
Edwardian and inter-war terraces and semis, often with slate or clay tiles and rear extensions; bungalows and larger detached homes in Leigh-on-Sea and Thorpe Bay.

Surveys
What happens on a solar survey
A survey is how we measure your roof, electrics, and energy use before anyone commits to panels. Here is what to expect, and what you will receive afterwards.
Installation
What to expect on install day
A typical home installation is planned around scaffolding, roof work, and electrical commissioning. Here is how the day usually runs.
System size
Choosing a solar system size
BlankSolar installs packages from 2kW to 6kW, and larger systems where the roof and supply allow it. Size should follow the property, not a default package.
