About our air source heat pumps in Little London
We install air source heat pumps in Little London and across Surrey, and we are MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We will explain which type fits your home and why. We’re often asked to deal with replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and a boiler that’s getting old, on hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
In a place like Little London, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

How it works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. For a place like Little London, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

Advice
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Leave it or put it right?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Booking before summer means the work in Little London is done before the hot weather.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Homes in Little London and heat pumps
VOA council tax data put about 38% of homes in and around Little London before 1919, and about 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Old St Peter and St Paul's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Historic houses such as Chilworth Manor, about 2.5 miles west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Air-to-water heat pumps

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales: £7,500 for air-to-water (and ground source), and £2,500 for air-to-air with strict conditions. The installer applies.
FAQs for Little London
Is Little London within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Little London?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 8 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Little London. 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 the local planning authority (for Little London, normally Guildford council) first.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. Both are part of what we install.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Does the grant cover air-to-air heat pumps?
Sometimes, and the amount is £2,500 rather than £7,500. It must replace fossil-fuel heating and meet the full heating demand of a home with an MCS certified installer.
