I've been a customer for many years and have always found Shelford Heating to be very reliable and offering excellent plumbing services. I have used them for boiler service, new radiators and just had an old asbestos cold water tank replaced. Excellent.

Luke and his team of Ian and George have just installed a new boiler system for us. They were considerate and efficient making it as easy as possible for us. They explained how to use the equipment making sure that we understood. They even moved bedroom furniture back for us.

I've been a customer of Shelford for almost 30 years, during which time they have been outstanding in every respect, first when I had an oil boiler and then after they installed a gas boiler. I'm writing a review now following a breakdown in my CH which, given the cold spell, was quite an emergency. They turned out quickly and fixed the problem, at a reasonable price. One great advantage is that they are easy to contact. Just a phone call, to a real person, not a call centre or some online portal or app. Another is continuity of service. The same guys, year after year (which also shows that they retain their staff), who know my system inside out and are always polite, work tidily and give helpful advice. Another is that they only install top quality products from reputable manufacturers. And the back office work of billing etc also works completely efficiently. All in all, a fantastic company.

Asked for a quote for a substantial chunk of work. They sent an engineer to spec out the job a week later, who was very thorough, then absolute radio silence. It's been two months now. They aren't responding to emails, left messages, just completely ghosting. Don't bother with them.

Outstanding workmanship – this company cares about detail. Did an ASHP (air source heat pump) installation for us this year 2023 which works really well, and even the design and layout of all the pipework is a work of art. With multiple follow up visits to tune up the system, and continuous monitoring to find the optimal configuration. Always on time, always attentive to detail, and very clear and upfront on timelines and costs. 10/10 would work with them again.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know you’re properly qualified and certified to install heat pumps?

We are MCS‑certified and registered with an approved consumer protection/competent person scheme, which is essential for quality assurance and to access grants like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS).

Can you tell me if a heat pump is actually suitable for my home?

We carry out a detailed home assessment, including property type, insulation levels, existing heating system and available outdoor space, to confirm whether a heat pump is a good fit.

What type and size of heat pump will you recommend for my property, and why?

We design the system using a heat‑loss calculation for your home, then match the correct kW size and model (for example, air‑source vs ground‑source) so it runs efficiently and reliably.

What will the full installation cost be, and what’s included in your quote?

Our fixed quote clearly lists the heat pump, cylinder, controls, labour, scaffolding (if needed), electrical work and any radiator or pipework upgrades, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Can you help me access government grants like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?

Yes, as an MCS installer we can confirm your eligibility, apply for the BUS grant (worth up to £7,500) on your behalf and deduct it directly from your quote.

How much disruption should I expect during installation, and how long does it take?

A typical air‑source heat pump installation takes around 2–5 days, and we’ll agree locations for the indoor and outdoor units, manage any planning considerations and keep you informed each day.

Will I need to replace my radiators or upgrade anything else in my home?

After the heat‑loss survey, we’ll advise if any radiators, pipework, electrics or hot‑water cylinder need upgrading so the system can run efficiently at lower flow temperatures.

How noisy is the outdoor unit and where will it be installed?

Modern heat pumps are designed to be quiet and must meet UK noise regulations; we’ll position the unit to minimise any impact on you and your neighbours and comply with local planning rules.

What warranties, servicing and aftercare do you provide?

You’ll get manufacturer warranties on the heat pump plus our workmanship guarantee, and we offer ongoing servicing and support to keep your system performing at its best.

What running costs and savings can I realistically expect compared to my current boiler?

We’ll estimate your likely annual running costs and potential savings based on your current fuel type, insulation level and tariffs, using real‑world performance data rather than lab figures.
