South London has some of the most diverse housing stock in the capital. From Victorian terraces in Clapham to modern flats in Nine Elms, from 1930s semis in Streatham to period conversions in Dulwich. Each property type brings its own considerations when installing a Air Source Heat Pump.
That's why we focus on connecting you with installers who've done this before in South London. They understand the area, the properties, and what works.
South London costs tend to sit in the middle of London pricing. Not as high as Central or West London, but typically more than outer suburbs. For a typical 3-bed Victorian terrace or semi, expect to pay £11,000-£14,000 before the grant.
Victorian properties in Wandsworth and Lambeth often need insulation upgrades. Conservation areas in Dulwich require extra planning. Modern flats in Battersea are typically easier to install. The property type makes a big difference to the final price.
Clapham, Balham, Wandsworth, Brixton
These are everywhere in South London. Solid brick walls, high ceilings, sash windows. Beautiful houses that weren't built with energy efficiency in mind.
Most need better insulation before a Air Source Heat Pump goes in. Loft insulation is easy. Wall insulation is harder but doable. Windows might need upgrading from single to double glazing.
Typical cost: £11,000 - £14,000
After grant: £3,500 - £6,500
Streatham, Tooting, Mitcham
These properties have cavity walls, which makes insulation easier. You can pump insulation into the cavity without major disruption.
Gardens are usually bigger than Victorian terraces, giving more options for positioning the outdoor unit. Installation tends to be more straightforward.
Typical cost: £10,000 - £13,000
After grant: £2,500 - £5,500
Battersea, Nine Elms, Southwark
New developments in Battersea and Nine Elms often have balconies suitable for Air Source Heat Pump outdoor units. Well-insulated buildings. Underfloor heating is common, which works perfectly with Air Source Heat Pumps.
Main challenge is getting freeholder permission and dealing with building management companies. Also need space for a hot water cylinder.
Typical cost: £10,000 - £13,000
After grant: £2,500 - £5,500
Dulwich, Herne Hill, Crystal Palace
Dulwich has several conservation areas. Installing Air Source Heat Pumps here needs careful consideration of where the outdoor unit goes and how it looks from the street.
Our installers have worked with Southwark Council's planning department many times. They know what gets approved and how to position units sensitively.
Typical cost: £12,000 - £15,000
After grant: £4,500 - £7,500

Usually yes. Most Victorian properties in these areas have solid walls with no cavity insulation. You'll probably need to upgrade loft insulation at minimum. External or internal wall insulation might be worth considering too, though it's not always essential. Your surveyor will assess your specific property and advise what's needed.
Dulwich has several conservation areas managed by Southwark Council. You might need planning permission depending on where your Air Source Heat Pump unit will go.
If the unit goes on a side or rear wall not visible from the street, you're often fine. If it's front-facing or in a prominent position, you'll need permission. Our installers know the local rules and can guide you through the process.
Yes, many can. Modern developments in these areas often have good outdoor space options. Balconies work well for smaller units.
The main hurdle is getting permission from the building management company. Some are supportive, others less so. Worth checking your lease and speaking to them early. You'll also need space inside for a hot water cylinder, which can be tight in smaller flats.
