What the work involves, system by system
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey, especially if you have a combi boiler.
VAT on heat pumps
Heat pumps in homes carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, and 5% after that following HMRC’s rules on energy-saving materials. It does not apply to businesses.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Beckley Furnace
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about not knowing whether a grant applies and finding a place for the outdoor unit.
For a home around Beckley Furnace that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Questions from Beckley Furnace
Will a heat pump in Beckley Furnace need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Beckley Furnace. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Beckley Furnace, typically Rother council) first.
Do you cover smaller places like Beckley Furnace?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Not every home qualifies, so we check. There’s one grant per property, you can’t get one to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids are excluded and other conditions apply.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we clear up before we go. We plan the trip to Beckley Furnace around you.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Getting a price
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, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
