We cover Leek and nearby Kidsgrove, Stoke-on-Trent and the rest of Staffordshire. 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 Leek quote.
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.

Designing for Leek's winters
On the shortest day Leek gets about 7 hours 32 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 13° 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 Leek: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Leek?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Staffordshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does installation take in Leek?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Leek home states the expected time.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Leek?
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 Leek home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Kidsgrove as well as Leek?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Kidsgrove, which is about 9 miles west of Leek, and across Staffordshire.
