Storage and electric heater replacement in Leatherhead
Old storage heaters in Leatherhead homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
Flats and bungalows in Leatherhead that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Leatherhead sits around 10 miles from Woking, inside our Surrey area. Coverage includes KT22.
Prices in Leatherhead
Storage and electric heater replacement in Leatherhead typically comes in at £4,195–£12,745 for 3–5 rooms including VAT, based on South East England rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. For reference, the Bungalow or house option in Leatherhead (four rooms on one outdoor unit) usually comes to about £6,045–£9,695.

Prices are shown before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. The £2,500 air-to-air grant applies only to eligible homes in England and Wales, using an MCS-certified heat pump installed by an MCS-certified installer, who applies for the grant and deducts it from the price. We confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
If your home in Leatherhead is replacing fossil fuel or electric heating, and no gas, oil or LPG boiler stays in use, an MCS-certified air-to-air heat pump may qualify for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, which the MCS-certified installer claims and deducts from the price.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. Surveys in Leatherhead cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
