Walker stretches along the north bank of the Tyne east of Newcastle city centre, its identity forged by the shipyards that once lined the riverside, Neptune Yard chief among them, and the long streets of Tyneside flats and terraces built to house the workers. Regeneration around Walker Riverside has brought newer housing alongside the Victorian stock near Walker Park, and heating needs vary a good deal between the two. Older homes closer to where the yards used to stand tend to have thicker solid walls, while the newer riverside plots are built to a very different, more modern insulation standard.
Why Walker Homes Are Switching to Heat Pumps
Rising gas prices and ageing back boilers are pushing a lot of Walker homeowners to look at air source heat pumps, whether they're in a traditional Tyneside flat or one of the newer riverside builds. It's a quieter, cleaner way to heat a home, and one that suits both the older housing stock and the newer developments once it's set up correctly.
Heat Pump Installation in Walker
- Traditional upstairs-downstairs Tyneside flats near Walker Park
- Victorian terraces closer to Byker and the old shipyard sites
- Newer housing built as part of the Walker Riverside regeneration
We size and site each system to match the property in front of us, not a standard template, taking into account how much space there is for an outdoor unit and how the existing heating is laid out. On some of the older streets that means working around back lanes and yards with limited room, so we plan the pipe route before any work is agreed rather than after.
