What air source heat pumps cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what air source heat pumps won’t do:
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Improving the building’s insulation

Air source heat pumps in Wood's Corner, done properly
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. If you are dealing with checking emitters for a heat pump and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, we can help.
For a home around Wood's Corner that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Why act early in Wood's Corner
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. If you are thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing alongside your own plans for the property. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

How it works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Visits to Wood's Corner are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- 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.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Ask for a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Homes in Wood's Corner and heat pumps
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 42% of homes in the Wood's Corner area before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 80% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Bateman's about 2.9 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Period properties close to The Parish Church of St Giles can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

FAQs for Wood's Corner
Will a heat pump in Wood's Corner need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Wood's Corner sits inside a conservation area. 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 planning department at Rother council, usually the authority for Wood's Corner.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Wood's Corner?
Wood's Corner is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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 are MCS certified.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
An installation takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line to book it.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
