Air source heat pumps in Littleton
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. 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. We’re often asked to deal with finding a place for the outdoor unit and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, on underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems.
Homes around Littleton usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What affects the quote in Littleton
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The pipe route between the units
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Your installation or service records
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and tell us about the property and what you need. A few photos make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.

What happens on the day
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Visits to Littleton are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Radiators and underfloor heating
If radiators need upsizing, the quote lists them, so the work is clear.
Air-to-water heat pumps
The price for air-to-water is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. A £7,500 grant may be available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme for eligible homes and the installer applies.
Questions from Littleton
Do you cover smaller places like Littleton?
Yes. Littleton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is a heat pump in Littleton permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Littleton Conservation Area is close to the centre of Littleton. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Littleton, typically Guildford council).
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 and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
That depends on the scheme conditions, which we check for you. As the installer, we make the application where you qualify.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. We check them all during the survey, so the quote covers any changes.

From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
