Before you book: heat pump radiator upgrades in Peckham
Homes around Peckham range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
In Peckham, bay-windowed front rooms are often the rooms that need a larger radiator when moving to a heat pump. For period homes in Peckham and across Greater London, column radiators can keep the character of a room while giving enough heat at low temperatures.
We size each radiator to your room-by-room heat loss so a heat pump can heat your home at a low, efficient flow temperature.
- Extensions and loft conversions with large areas of glazing
- Rooms with little wall space, where a fan-assisted radiator fits better
- Homes switching from a gas, oil or LPG boiler to a heat pump
What's included
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
We plan radiator upgrades in Peckham so floorboards are lifted only where pipework genuinely needs changing.
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 Peckham 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.

Short winter days in Peckham and what they mean
On the shortest day Peckham gets about 7 hours 50 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 15° above the horizon at noon. Winters this far south are milder than in most of the UK, which helps a heat pump run at low flow temperatures for much of the season.

- You receive a heat loss design and a fixed written quote, with any grant shown where it applies.
- Installers fit the unit, cylinder and any radiator changes, typically over 2–4 days on site.
- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Heat pump radiator upgrades in Peckham: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Peckham?
A home survey in Peckham 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.
Can you service a heat pump in Peckham that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Peckham, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do you cover Dulwich as well as Peckham?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Dulwich, which is about 2 miles south-west of Peckham, and across Greater London.
Can radiators be changed without draining the whole system?
Radiator changes normally mean draining the heating system, which is why they are usually done as part of the heat pump installation. The system is then refilled, flushed, treated with inhibitor and balanced. Doing the radiators at the same time avoids draining twice and means the new radiators are commissioned with the heat pump.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Not necessarily: many homes keep most of their radiators and replace only a few. The heat loss survey checks each room against its existing radiator at the planned flow temperature. Rooms with large windows, high ceilings or extensions are the usual candidates for an upgrade, while bedrooms often need no change. Your radiator schedule lists every decision.
