How we handle air source heat pumps in Laleham
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through 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 will need another way to do that. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are working out where a cylinder could go and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
Cottages and older homes near Laleham can lose heat faster, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Rented and managed buildings
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved, and we clear up before we go. Around Laleham, access is normally simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about parking and loading

Related advice
Before you call an engineer
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
What a heat pump looks like in Laleham
About 52% of homes across Laleham and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 62% 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. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Older homes near Church of All Saints may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Botleys Mansion, roughly 3.4 miles south-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
Laleham is about 1 mile south-east of Staines-upon-Thames, in Surrey. Across the TW18 area, we can help with air source heat pumps. Count every place we list in Surrey and you reach 395, with Laleham on the list. Guildford, roughly 12 miles off, has its own page on this site.

Laleham: your questions answered
Can I fit a heat pump in Laleham without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 14 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Laleham. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Spelthorne council, which is usually the planning authority for Laleham.
Do you cover smaller places like Laleham?
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 landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
How we price air source heat pumps
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
