Hertfordshire sits largely on chalk aquifer, particularly in the western Chilterns area, providing excellent conditions for both water boreholes and ground source heat pumps. The Kings Langley and Chorleywood area has good chalk at moderate depth. Moving east, London Clay becomes more prevalent. GSHP installations are our most common work type in Hertfordshire — the chalk provides excellent thermal conductivity for closed-loop systems.
Every site is different. A desk-based geological assessment is always the starting point for any project.
