Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Woldingham
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. If you’re dealing with deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, we can help.
If your home in or near Woldingham 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.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Air source heat pumps around Woldingham
About 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Titsey Place about 2.2 miles east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Paul? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
Woldingham is about 3 miles east of Caterham, in Surrey. Properties in Woldingham get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we have finished. Woldingham is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work for homes and businesses. Croydon is in our area too, around 6 miles away.
Our nearest recent job to Woldingham was on Godstone Road, Caterham (CR3), about 3 miles west: installing a Samsung multi-split system serving three bedrooms and a home office.
Work in CR3 follows the same survey, fixed-price quote and written records as everywhere else we cover. Station Road, Church Road and Ulstan Close and the roads off them are all inside our area. Close by, we work in Woldingham Garden Village (1 mile north-west), Titsey (2 miles east), Caterham (3 miles west), Tyler's Green (3 miles south-west) and Limpsfield (3 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Epsom (11 miles west), Horley (9 miles south-west), Redhill (7 miles south-west) and Ewell (11 miles north-west).
Local landmarks in Woldingham
Locally, jobs take us to houses, flats and workplaces close to Hill Park and Oxted School. For rail, the closest station is Woldingham station, roughly 0.8 miles west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include East Surrey Museum (2 miles west) and Warlingham Park Hospital (2.2 miles north). Not far away are Bay Pond and Nore Hill.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. If a lane or gateway near Woldingham is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- 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.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
How to get a quote
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.

Air-to-air heat pumps
Since 2025, air-to-air heat pumps can also be permitted development in England, subject to the conditions. A unit used solely for cooling is not covered, so check with the council.
VAT on heat pumps
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5% following HMRC’s rules on energy-saving materials. Businesses pay the standard rate.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Woldingham: your questions answered
Will you come out to Woldingham?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Will a heat pump in Woldingham need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. There’s a conservation area, the Woldingham Green Conservation Area, close to central Woldingham. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Woldingham, normally Tandridge council).
Will my radiators work with 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.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Ask about the grant before you commit
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
