Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Blendon
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. Typical jobs include questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, across air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating.
Homes in Blendon are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, and that decides which kind of heat pump works. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and normally a cylinder, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Blendon
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Blendon?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Blendon. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Bexley council, normally the authority for Blendon.
Is the heat pump grant available in Blendon?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Blendon, if they qualify. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air does not heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.

What a heat pump looks like in Blendon
About 63% of homes in the Blendon area were built between the wars, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
If you live near Albany Park station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep to regular servicing
- Seal draughts where you can
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.
When to call us in Blendon
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, subject to the scheme rules.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A boiler that’s getting old
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
Danson House lies about 0.7 miles north. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
What your quote should include
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The size of the job
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
Before you get in touch
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Blendon.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
