We cover Lydney and nearby Dursley, Thornbury and the rest of Gloucestershire. A heat pump is a whole-system change, so the survey looks at radiators, pipework, the hot water cylinder and the best spot for the outdoor unit.

Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Lydney quote.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK until 31 March 2027. In England most houses can have an air source heat pump under permitted development, provided the unit meets the MCS noise and siting standards; the old 1 m boundary limit was removed on 29 May 2025. We flag listed buildings, flats and sensitive conservation-area positions at survey.

Winter daylight and heating in Lydney
On the shortest day Lydney gets about 7 hours 47 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 15° up. The heating season runs from autumn into spring, so a heat pump that is sized correctly and set up with weather compensation does most of its work in steady, cool conditions.
Heat pumps in Lydney: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Lydney?
A home survey in Lydney usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
How soon can you survey a home in Lydney?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Gloucestershire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Dursley as well as Lydney?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Dursley, which is about 8 miles south-east of Lydney, and across Gloucestershire.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Lydney house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Lydney home.
