When to call us in Cocking

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
Older homes near St Catherine of Siena Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

How we handle air source heat pumps in Cocking
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. We’re often asked to deal with no space for a hot water cylinder and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Cocking, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Cocking can be planned properly.

Related advice
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Cocking
Is the heat pump grant available in Cocking?
Cocking is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Will you come out to Cocking?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
As a guide, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short and agreed before any work starts.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.

What a heat pump looks like in Cocking
Central Cocking is inside the Cocking Conservation Area. On the National Heritage List, around 25 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Cocking; Cocking Church (grade I) is one. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? At about 47 miles from central London, Cocking sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East.
Cowdray House lies about 2.6 miles north. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Cocking is about 8 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex. Whatever kind of property you have in Cocking, our engineers can help with air source heat pumps. You will hear back from us the same working day and our emergency line runs 24/7. Count every place we list in West Sussex and you reach 371, with Cocking on the list. For properties nearby, see our Worthing page (18 miles or so).
The closest recent job we can point to from Cocking was on East Street, Chichester (PO19), about 8 miles south: installing a Daikin wall-mounted unit in the dining area and a second unit serving the kitchen pass area.
If your postcode is in GU29, you are inside the area we cover. If you need air source heat pumps at a property on Bell Lane, The Croft and Cherry Close or anywhere close by, our engineers can take on the work. Nearby, we also cover air source heat pumps in Bepton (1 mile north-west), Heyshott Green (1 mile north-east), Cocking Causeway (1 mile north), Heyshott (1 mile east) and Bepton Common (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (12 miles south), Chichester (8 miles south), Selsey (15 miles south) and Littlehampton (14 miles south-east).
What’s near Cocking
Well-known places in the area include Midhurst Community Hospital (3 miles north) and Midhurst Museum (2.5 miles north). For a walk, there’s Levin Down and Iping and Stedham Commons.
Let and managed properties
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
What air source heat pumps cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what air source heat pumps won’t do:
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will give you a straight answer.

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
