About air source heat pumps in Thurrock
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas.
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- 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.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
What you’ll pay
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.
What you get with us
- One contact for properties across the South East and London
- 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns
- Enquiries answered the same working day

Getting a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Air source heat pumps around Thurrock
Homes across Thurrock that are heated by oil or LPG, with no mains gas, can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
An F-Gas certified company does the refrigerant side, and the electrics come under our NICEIC approval. Parts of Thurrock are on or near the coast, where salt air is hard on outdoor units. Outdoor unit position and regular servicing both help near the sea.
Stanford-le-Hope: Homeowners near Stanford-Le-Hope station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that. Period properties close to St John the Evangelist can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by air source heat pumps, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
System by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
Heat loss surveys
We look at walls, windows, floors, roofs and ventilation, and the size of each room.
For landlords and property managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Safe owner checks
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Common questions in Thurrock
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
Often not in England, as many heat pumps on houses are permitted development, if the conditions are met. These include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), not being used solely for cooling and not being within the curtilage of a listed building.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Do you work in Thurrock?
Yes. Thurrock is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover. We are based in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme though not every home qualifies.
