Heat loss survey for Shipston-on-Stour homes
A heat pump suits most Shipston-on-Stour homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
A surveyor visits your Shipston-on-Stour home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized. Homeowners in Shipston-on-Stour thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size.
Every heat pump we quote starts with a room-by-room heat loss survey, free with installation enquiries and also available as a stand-alone report.
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
What's included
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
The survey in Shipston-on-Stour includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Shipston-on-Stour 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.

Heat loss surveys in Shipston-on-Stour: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Shipston-on-Stour?
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 Shipston-on-Stour home gives a room-by-room list.
How long does installation take in Shipston-on-Stour?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Shipston-on-Stour home states the expected time.
Do you cover Stratford-upon-Avon as well as Shipston-on-Stour?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Stratford-upon-Avon, which is about 10 miles north of Shipston-on-Stour, and across Warwickshire.
How long does a heat loss survey take?
A typical survey takes 1–3 hours on site, depending on the size and complexity of the home. Larger or older houses with mixed construction, extensions or many rooms take longer. The calculations and design are completed afterwards, and the results are included in your quote or stand-alone report.
Will the survey check noise from the outdoor unit?
Yes. The surveyor identifies possible positions for the outdoor unit and carries out the MCS noise assessment, which estimates the sound level at the nearest neighbouring window from the unit's sound power level, distance and any barriers. In England, meeting the MCS planning standards is one of the conditions for permitted development. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own rules, which we check.
