Stonesfield: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Stonesfield?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Stonesfield, if they qualify. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Will you come out to Stonesfield?
Yes. Stonesfield 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 have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
Under the Planning Portal rules, a heat pump on a house can often be permitted development. Listed buildings are excluded, and listed building consent is separate. We check what applies to you.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Air source heat pumps in Stonesfield
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Common call-outs are for radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and deciding on the outdoor unit position, on air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and underfloor heating.
Older and listed homes in villages like Stonesfield need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Air source heat pumps around Stonesfield
The middle of Stonesfield is part of the Stonesfield Conservation Area. Church of St James the Great, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 12 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Stonesfield’s centre. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at West Oxfordshire council, which normally handles Stonesfield where necessary. The last census (2021) found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Older homes near Church of St James the Great may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Historic houses such as Blenheim Palace, about 3 miles east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Stonesfield is about 5 miles north-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
The process
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Stonesfield can be planned properly.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Getting a price
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Advice
How we price air source heat pumps
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the job
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
