Short answer
About seven in ten Nailsworth households use mains gas alone, and a small number use oil or bottled gas. Many homes are old stone houses on steep hillsides. These make the siting of tanks, flues and heat pumps harder. Warm and Well gives free advice and handles local grants.

How do Nailsworth homes heat?
In the 2021 Census, 2,011 of the 2,878 households in Nailsworth ward used mains gas alone. That is 69.9 per cent, a little below the England share.
Some 95 households used oil and 25 used tank or bottled gas. Another 313 used electric heating only, or 10.9 per cent.
Nailsworth also had a high share of homes with two or more heating types, at 12.1 per cent in total. A wood burner beside a gas boiler is a common mix.
What should I know about old homes on steep sites?
In the Nailsworth area, 29.5 per cent of homes on the Council Tax list date from before 1919. Many are stone cottages cut into the valley sides.
On a hillside plot, the flat ground for an oil tank or a heat pump is often small. An oil tank less than 760 millimetres from a boundary needs a fire wall. One less than 1.8 metres from the house needs fire protection too.
Ask the engineer how the oil tanker or the service engineer will reach the unit. Steps and narrow paths add cost.
Do the conservation areas affect heating work here?
They can. Nailsworth has its own conservation area, and Dunkirk Mills and Watledge is a separate one. In both, a flue on a road-facing front or side wall needs planning permission.
The town centre is just outside the Cotswolds National Landscape. Higher ground near the town may be inside, so check the map for your address.
For a listed house, ask Stroud District Council before any change to the walls, the roof or the chimney.
How many homes in Stroud District are off the gas grid?
DESNZ estimates that 9,394 homes in Stroud District had no gas meter in 2024. That is 16.6 per cent, much lower than in Cotswold District.
In Nailsworth ward, 20 households used renewable heating alone in 2021, and 33 combined it with another type. Another 17 households used wood or solid fuel alone.
Firms here often cover Horsley, Woodchester, Amberley and Minchinhampton too.
Questions
Is there a local grant for heating in Nailsworth?
Warm and Well runs the Warm Homes Local Grant across Gloucestershire. A home needs an EPC of D to G, and an income under £36,000 or certain benefits.
Does the boiler grant cover a new gas boiler?
No. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays towards a heat pump or a biomass boiler that replaces fossil fuel heating. It does not fund a new gas boiler.
Who applies for the heat pump grant?
Your installer applies to Ofgem for you. GOV.UK tells you to get quotes from MCS certified installers.
