How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Water Stratford.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.

Preparing for the visit

Advice
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Water Stratford
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. Common call-outs are for finding a place for the outdoor unit and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, on air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and radiator systems.
If your home in or near Water Stratford is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Air source heat pumps around Water Stratford
About 54 miles out from central London, Water Stratford is part of the South East area we work across. Central Water Stratford is inside the Water Stratford Conservation Area. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Water Stratford. About 6 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Water Stratford, Church of St Giles (grade I) among them. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Buckinghamshire council, usually the planning authority here where needed.
Older homes near Church of St Giles may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Stowe House, roughly 2.3 miles north-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

Questions from Water Stratford
Is the heat pump grant available in Water Stratford?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Water Stratford is in England, where it applies. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Water Stratford?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales though not every home qualifies.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
