FAQs for Wolverton Common
Can I fit a heat pump in Wolverton Common without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 5 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Wolverton Common. 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 Basingstoke and Deane council, which is usually the planning authority for Wolverton Common.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Wolverton Common?
Wolverton Common is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
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 the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Is Wolverton Common in your area?
Yes. We work in Wolverton Common and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our area across London and the South East. To book, ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
About our air source heat pumps in Wolverton Common
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. 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 radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and a boiler that’s getting old, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps.
In a place like Wolverton Common, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What affects the quote in Wolverton Common
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The pipe route between the units
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number

Leave it or put it right?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
Why us?
- Every job looked at before it’s priced
- Clear warranty information from the manufacturer
- Covering London and the South East
- F-Gas certified company
What we do, step by step
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, carry out the job, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Wolverton Common.
- 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.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
