Air source heat pumps in Bermondsey
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. Typical jobs include questions about where the outdoor unit can go and planning and permitted development questions, on radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
A terrace in Bermondsey shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Common problems we fix in Bermondsey
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
Customers typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
If your home is one of the older properties near St Mary Magdalen Bermondsey, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
What your quote should include
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
Why deal with it now?
The extra £1,500 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas is available until March 2027. If that applies to you, it’s worth asking about sooner rather than later. Approvals for flats in Bermondsey can take longer than the install itself.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed price.

Heat pumps in Bermondsey: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 33% of homes in Bermondsey and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and the 2021 Census found about 89% of households live in flats. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. For flats, the first questions are where an outdoor unit could go, whether a cylinder fits and what the lease allows. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
With Mansion House about 1.3 miles north-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
Bermondsey is about 1 mile east of London, in Greater London. We cover Bermondsey for air source heat pumps and across the rest of Greater London. In Greater London alone we list 764 places, and Bermondsey is one.

Bermondsey questions
Will a heat pump in Bermondsey need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Bermondsey Street Conservation Area is close to the centre of Bermondsey. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Southwark council, normally the authority for Bermondsey.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Bermondsey?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Is Bermondsey in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, and that includes Bermondsey.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Let and managed properties
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
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.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Bermondsey.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
