Aftercare tips
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts so we set the controls up with you.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
Air source heat pumps in Irons Bottom, done properly
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. If you’re dealing with questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and no space for a hot water cylinder, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Irons Bottom, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Questions from Irons Bottom
Do you cover Irons Bottom for air source heat pumps?
We do: Irons Bottom falls inside our working area. To start, ring 07833 053749 with a few pictures.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Irons Bottom?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Irons Bottom, if they qualify. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
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.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. Flats have different limits, conservation areas have extra conditions, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights, so we check during the survey.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 07833 053749 and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers

What a heat pump looks like in Irons Bottom
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 45% of homes in the Irons Bottom area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the 2021 Census found about 72% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. 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. About 21 miles out from central London, Irons Bottom is part of the South East area we work across.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. Live in one of the older houses around Emmanuel Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
Irons Bottom is about 2 miles south of Reigate, in Surrey. Properties in Irons Bottom get the same service as everywhere we cover: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end. Irons Bottom is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work.
Not far from Irons Bottom, a recent job of ours was on Cockshot Hill, Reigate (RH2), about 2 miles north: installing a Mitsubishi Electric multi-split system serving four rooms: master bedroom, two further bedrooms and a home office.
Our working area takes in RH2 in full. Neighbouring places we cover include Sidlow (1 mile north-east), South Park (2 miles north), Leigh (2 miles west), Dawesgreen (2 miles west) and Reigate (2 miles north).

Local landmarks in Irons Bottom

Well-known places in the area include Reigate Castle (2.5 miles north) and Reigate Priory Museum (2.2 miles north). Not far away are Mercers Lake and Colley Hill.
Why act early in Irons Bottom
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. The survey picks this up before installation. An early booking makes the visit to Irons Bottom easier to arrange.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed price.
