Air source heat pumps in Great Bookham, done properly
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. If you are dealing with finding a place for the outdoor unit and working out where a cylinder could go, we can sort it out.
Whether a home near Great Bookham has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What a heat pump looks like in Great Bookham
VOA council tax data date about 48% of homes in Great Bookham and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 77% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Period properties close to Church of St Nicolas can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Homeowners near Bookham station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.

Great Bookham questions
Do you cover smaller places like Great Bookham?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I fit a heat pump in Great Bookham without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. There’s a conservation area, the Great Bookham Conservation Area, close to central Great Bookham. 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 Mole Valley council, which is usually the planning authority for Great Bookham first.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
