For landlords and property managers
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we will copy in whoever needs it.
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.
Air source heat pumps in Bloomsbury, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. If the problem is ageing boilers that will need replacing and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, we can help.
For flats in Bloomsbury, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. Permitted development limits are different for flats, so we check the position before we design.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Bloomsbury
Is a heat pump in Bloomsbury permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. There’s a conservation area, the Bloomsbury Conservation Area, close to central Bloomsbury. 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 Camden council, which is typically the planning authority for Bloomsbury first.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Bloomsbury?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally have a say. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How it works
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. From there, the work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Send us a few phone photos and we can often price a straightforward job in Bloomsbury before visiting.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.

Heat pumps in Bloomsbury: local notes
About 44% of homes in the Bloomsbury area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 95% of households live in flats. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Historic houses such as Dr Johnson's House, about 0.9 miles south-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. If your home is near London Euston station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.
Bloomsbury is about 1 mile north-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Our engineers cover Bloomsbury for air source heat pumps, along with the rest of Greater London. Count every place we list in Greater London and you reach 764, with Bloomsbury on the list.

Why act early in Bloomsbury
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. If you’re thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. Allow time for any approvals your building in Bloomsbury needs.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.
