Air source heat pumps in Godstow
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 check the rules for your property as part of the survey. Typical jobs include radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and ageing boilers that will need replacing, across air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and radiator systems.
Older and listed homes in villages like Godstow need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

FAQs for Godstow
Do you cover smaller places like Godstow?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Godstow?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Godstow, if they qualify. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. We install both types.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Air source heat pumps around Godstow
About 61% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. The middle of Godstow is part of the Wolvercote with Godstow Conservation Area. In the mile around Godstow’s centre, 3 conservation areas have been designated. Historic England lists about 14 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Godstow, including Trout Inn (grade II). 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 Oxford City council, which usually handles Godstow.
If your home is listed, like Holywell Manor about 2.7 miles south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of All Saints, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

After we’ve gone
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Book a yearly service
- Use the settings explained at handover
- File the MCS certificate safely
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
Why act early in Godstow
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. Planning ahead for a job in Godstow means we can bring everything needed.
