Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Mortimer West End
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. If you are dealing with questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, we can help.
In a place like Mortimer West End, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
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.

Air source heat pumps around Mortimer West End
The last census (2021) found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. Historic England lists about 8 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Mortimer West End, including The Red Lion Public House (grade II). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (normally Basingstoke and Deane council).
If your home is listed, like Stratfield Saye House about 4.3 miles east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.

- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.

FAQs for Mortimer West End
Is the heat pump grant available in Mortimer West End?
Mortimer West End is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you come out to Mortimer West End?
Yes. Mortimer West End is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. Flats have tighter limits, conservation areas add conditions, and Article 4 directions can remove rights and we look at it during the survey.
Safe owner checks
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
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 refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
