Thorncombe Street questions
Is the heat pump grant available in Thorncombe Street?
Thorncombe Street is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Thorncombe Street within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
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, so we check during the survey.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Air source heat pumps in Thorncombe Street
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Thorncombe Street and the rest of Surrey. 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 help you work out which suits your home. Typical jobs include moving away from fossil-fuel heating and deciding on the outdoor unit position, across air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps.
If your home in or near Thorncombe Street is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Somewhere like Thorncombe Street, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Tell us about parking and loading

Homes in Thorncombe Street and heat pumps
The last census (2021) found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. Central Thorncombe Street is inside the Thorncombe Street Conservation Area. About 13 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Thorncombe Street, Cobble Cottage (grade II) among them. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t 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 Waverley council, typically the planning authority here where necessary.
With Loseley Park about 3.4 miles north-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Thorncombe Street is about 5 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. Whether you are in the middle of Thorncombe Street or further out, we cover air source heat pumps, from a single room to a whole building. Our Surrey coverage runs to 395 places, and Thorncombe Street is one of them.
The closest recent job we can point to from Thorncombe Street was on Bridge Road, Godalming (GU7), about 2 miles north-west: installing a Panasonic split system in the garden office and a second unit in the master bedroom.
If your postcode is in GU5, we can take the job on. From Thorncombe Street and Alldens Hill to the smaller roads in between, nowhere is left out. We also cover the places around Thorncombe Street: Munstead Heath (1 mile west), Birtley Green (1 mile north-east), Grafham (1 mile east), Hascombe (1 mile south) and Bramley (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (5 miles north), Woking (10 miles north), Camberley (13 miles north-west) and Farnham (10 miles west).

The nearest railway station is Godalming station, about 2.3 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Milford Hospital (2.4 miles west) and Godalming Museum (2.2 miles north-west). The countryside around Thorncombe Street includes Farncombe Wood and Hydon's Ball.
Honest limits
Air source heat pumps can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
- Improving the building’s insulation

Managing agents and facilities teams in Thorncombe Street
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.
Why deal with it now?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. An early booking makes the visit to Thorncombe Street easier to arrange.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
