Why solar on the Fylde Coast

The Fylde Coast covers Blackpool, Lytham St Annes, Fleetwood, Poulton-le-Fylde and the smaller villages between. Solar on FY-postcode roofs benefits from less shading than inland Lancashire — the trade-off is more wind exposure and salt corrosion considerations on roof-fixing and inverter siting.

Postcodes covered

Fylde Coast sits inside the Thermova service area — FY1–FY8. Our base is Harbury, 33 Derby Road, Poulton-le-Fylde (FY6), so we're routinely on the road across Blackpool, Lytham, Fleetwood, Preston and the wider Fylde Coast.

Local planning & site considerations

Most domestic solar across the Fylde Coast falls under Permitted Development. Conservation Areas in central Lytham and parts of Blackpool's South Shore need planning. We handle DNO (G98/G99) applications on every install regardless of size.

The Thermova approach — the same wherever we install

  • On-site survey on site, not a desk estimate. Room-by-room measurement; design flow temperature written down.
  • Founder-led. Graham personally signs off every design.
  • Measured outcomes. Our public Lytham case study shows the year-one SCOP and CO₂ reduction in real numbers — not a brochure figure.
  • £7,500 grant managed. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is handled end-to-end and deducted from your invoice.

Frequently asked questions

Do you actually install in Fylde Coast?
Yes. Thermova's base is Harbury, 33 Derby Road, Poulton-le-Fylde (FY6 7AF) — Fylde Coast (FY1–FY8) is in our core service area. Same team surveys and installs.
How fast can you get out to survey?
Typical survey lead time is one to two weeks from first call. Emergency situations (boiler failed, no heat) we'll prioritise where possible — call +44 7976 015890.
Do you handle the £7,500 grant on local installs?
Yes. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is managed end-to-end on every eligible install. £7,500 is deducted directly from your invoice — you don't fill in any forms with Ofgem.
What if my property has planning restrictions?
Most heat pump installs fall under Permitted Development in England and Wales. Conservation Areas and listed buildings need consent — we check at survey and route the planning application ourselves where it's needed.
How does your install differ from a national installer?
We design and install one property at a time, personally. Graham signs off every design. Our published Lytham case study shows the year-one performance numbers — measured, not modelled. You meet the people responsible for your install, not a salesperson.
What if I've had a quote elsewhere already?
Bring it. We're happy to second-opinion an existing quote — usually free, no obligation. The most common issue we see is undersized radiator changes for the design flow temperature.
