Honest limits
Air source heat pumps can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll say what we think.

About our air source heat pumps in Roehampton
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. The work covers hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems, and the jobs we see most are working out where a cylinder could go and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life.
Homes in Roehampton are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, and that decides which kind of heat pump works. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and normally a cylinder, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

System by system
Hot water cylinders
Existing cylinders may not be suitable for a heat pump, and we explain whether yours can stay.
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 we apply for it as the installer.
FAQs for Roehampton
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Roehampton?
Typically, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Roehampton?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Roehampton sits inside the Dover House Estate Conservation Area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Wandsworth council, which is typically the planning authority for Roehampton.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Not every home qualifies, so we check. Only one grant is available per property, it cannot replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids don’t qualify, among other rules.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. 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.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
For homes, 0% until 31 March 2027, under HMRC Notice 708/6 and 5% after that. With air-to-air, HMRC’s view depends on the product, so we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
How it works
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes, and we clear up before we go. For a job in Roehampton, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
Rented and managed buildings
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Heat pumps in Roehampton: local notes
About 46% of homes across Roehampton and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 71% of households live in flats. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. For flats, the first questions are where an outdoor unit could go, whether a cylinder fits and what the lease allows. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Historic houses such as Fulham Palace, about 1.3 miles north-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. Older homes near St Margaret's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
