Air source heat pumps in Amen Corner: the local picture
VOA council tax data show about 48% of homes in the Amen Corner area were built in 2000 or later, and the last census (2021) found about 64% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. Amen Corner is about 30 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mark, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Air source heat pumps in Amen Corner
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers underfloor heating, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and questions about where the outdoor unit can go.
Cottages and older homes near Amen Corner can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Amen Corner
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. Until March 2027, an extra £1,500 is available for air source and ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Comparing heat pump types
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
Before you book anyone
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what air source heat pumps will not do:
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Improving the building’s insulation
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
If you are not sure, just ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Amen Corner can be done in one go where possible.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Amen Corner
Is Amen Corner in your area for air source heat pumps?
We do: Amen Corner falls inside our working area. To start, phone 07833 053749 or send an email with a few pictures.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Amen Corner?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Amen Corner, if they qualify. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. Flats have tighter limits, conservation areas add conditions, and Article 4 directions can remove rights and we look at it during the survey.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface, and the survey checks each one.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
