Homes in Coscote and heat pumps
About 55% of homes in Coscote and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 75% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Coscote’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the West Hagbourne Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Coscote and it takes in 2 conservation areas. Historic England lists about 19 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Coscote, including Church of St Andrew (grade I). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the planning team at South Oxfordshire council, which normally handles Coscote.
Older homes near Church of St Andrew may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Coscote
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Coscote and the rest of Oxfordshire. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and the jobs we see most are wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and questions about where the outdoor unit can go.
For a home around Coscote that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What else we do in Coscote
How it works
Every visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Coscote.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Getting a price
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Advice
Common questions in Coscote
Is Coscote within the area you cover?
Yes. Coscote is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Coscote?
Coscote is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. Flats have tighter limits, conservation areas add conditions, and Article 4 directions can remove rights and we look at it during the survey.
How quickly will you reply?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
When to call us in Coscote
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions and we confirm it before you go ahead.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
If your home is listed, like Brightwell Manor about 4.1 miles east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
What your quote should include
- If the figure could change on the day
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- What records you get at the end
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
If you are not sure, just phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
