Rented and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
About our air source heat pumps in Woolhampton
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Woolhampton and the rest of West Berkshire. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are working out whether radiators need upsizing and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
For a home around Woolhampton that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Woolhampton
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air and that’s the appeal for many households.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
Homeowners near Midgham station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.

Woolhampton: your questions answered
Will you come out to Woolhampton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is a heat pump in Woolhampton permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Woolhampton is a short walk from the Woolhampton 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 West Berkshire council, which is typically the planning authority for Woolhampton.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
In residential accommodation, 0% until 31 March 2027 and 5% afterwards. Hotels and businesses pay the standard rate, and this is not tax advice.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
What owners can safely do
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
What happens on the day
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Woolhampton.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
How to prepare
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
