Air source heat pumps in Godstone: the local picture
About 41% of homes in and around Godstone date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 61% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Titsey Place about 4.1 miles north-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Period properties close to Church of St Nicholas can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Godstone is about 3 miles south of Caterham, in Surrey. Whether you’re in the middle of Godstone or further out, our engineers cover air source heat pumps, from small jobs to large ones. Across Surrey, we cover 395 places, and Godstone is one of them. Reigate is in our area too, about 6 miles from Godstone.
The closest recent job we can point to from Godstone was on Granville Road, Oxted (RH8), about 3 miles east: installing a Mitsubishi Electric wall-mounted unit in the home gym and a second unit in the master bedroom.

Air source heat pumps in Godstone, done properly
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Godstone and the rest of Surrey. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. We are often asked to deal with ageing boilers that will need replacing and no space for a hot water cylinder, across underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders.
Older and listed homes in villages like Godstone need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

System by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
The £2,500 grant for air-to-air applies only when the system replaces the fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s demand. It also has to be fitted by an MCS certified installer, in a home.
Heat loss surveys
A heat loss survey measures how much heat each room loses on a cold day. It’s the basis for sizing the heat pump and the radiators.
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Godstone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We consider:
- The condition of any existing system
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The brand, model and parts involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Before you get in touch
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. 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, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Keep to regular servicing
- Keep radiators clear
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
Places near Godstone
What else we do in Godstone
Godstone: your questions answered
Is Godstone within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Godstone?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Godstone sits inside the Green, Godstone Conservation Area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Godstone, typically Tandridge council) first.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
Quite possibly. In England and Wales it pays £7,500 for an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 for air-to-air under tighter rules. Until March 2027 there’s an extra £1,500 for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes on oil or LPG with no mains gas. We check your home against the rules at the survey.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
Not on a home installation at the moment: until 31 March 2027 the rate is 0% in residential accommodation, then 5%. The relief isn’t available to businesses, and with air-to-air we confirm the VAT on the quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Somewhere like Godstone, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

“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.”
