Why act early in Fulbrook
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application while the old heating still works. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

How we handle air source heat pumps in Fulbrook
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. If the problem is a boiler that’s getting old and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, we can sort it out.
For a home around Fulbrook that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Rented and managed buildings
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
What affects the quote in Fulbrook
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- The pipe route between the units
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Before you get in touch
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Your installation or service records
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
What happens on the day
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Visits to Fulbrook are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

Questions from Fulbrook
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Fulbrook?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Fulbrook is in England, where it applies. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you cover smaller places like Fulbrook?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Air source heat pumps around Fulbrook
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 38% of homes in and around Fulbrook before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. Historic England lists about 22 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Fulbrook, including Church of St John the Baptist (grade I). For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at West Oxfordshire council, which normally handles Fulbrook where needed.
Period properties close to Church of Saint James the Great can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. With Minster Lovell Hall about 4.2 miles east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
