We cover Tyldesley and nearby Atherton, Leigh and the rest of Greater Manchester. 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
Homes in Tyldesley can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Since 29 May 2025, permitted development in England allows up to two air source heat pumps on a house, each up to 1.5 m³, with no blanket 1 m boundary rule — the installation must still meet the MCS planning standards, including the noise check. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation-area positions need extra consent, which we check at survey.

Short winter days in Tyldesley and what they mean
On the shortest day Tyldesley gets only about 7 hours 28 minutes of daylight and the noon sun sits around 13° above the horizon. Northern winters tend to be longer, so a well-designed, efficient system matters more here because it runs for more of the year.
Heat pumps in Tyldesley: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Tyldesley?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Greater Manchester. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Tyldesley 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 Tyldesley home.
Do you cover Atherton as well as Tyldesley?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Atherton, which is about a mile north-west of Tyldesley, and across Greater Manchester.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Tyldesley?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Tyldesley home gives a room-by-room list.
