When to call us in Hattingley
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity and that’s the appeal for many households.
Common reasons people call us are:
- A boiler that’s getting old
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- No space for a hot water cylinder
If your home is listed, like Bentworth Hall about 1.9 miles north-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

How we handle air source heat pumps in Hattingley
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. Typical jobs include finding a place for the outdoor unit and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, across hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
Homes around Hattingley typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out 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.

What a heat pump looks like in Hattingley
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 32% of homes in the Hattingley area were built in 2000 or later, and about 87% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. About 50 miles out from central London, Hattingley is part of the South East area we work across.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Andrew? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

What the work involves, system by system
VAT on heat pumps
HMRC says most air conditioning units are air source heat pumps, but each case depends on the facts, so we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger, and the survey checks each one.
Why deal with it now?
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for before you need the heat. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

What we do, step by step
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Work in Hattingley is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- 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.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Common questions in Hattingley
Do you cover Hattingley for air source heat pumps?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Hattingley is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is the heat pump grant available in Hattingley?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Hattingley is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
