What affects the quote in Bopeep
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The condition of any existing system
- What electrical work the job needs
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email for straight advice and a fixed price.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, pictures of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, call us on 07833 053749 or email us.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Bopeep
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about where the outdoor unit can go and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas.
Terraced houses in a London area like Bopeep can suit a heat pump well, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Heat pumps in Bopeep: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 59% of homes in Bopeep and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Lullingstone Castle, roughly 2.5 miles east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
Bopeep is about 3 miles south-east of Orpington, in Greater London. Bopeep gets the same approach as every job we take on: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end. Bopeep is one of 764 towns, villages and districts in Greater London where we work for homes and businesses. We also work in Bromley, around 6 miles away.
Our nearest recent job to Bopeep was on Station Road, Orpington (BR6), about 3 miles north-west: installing three Daikin cassette units in the main office area and a wall-mounted unit in the client meeting room.

Bopeep: your questions answered
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Bopeep?
Typically, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Bopeep?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Bopeep, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Do you cover Bopeep?
Yes. We work in Bopeep and the rest of Greater London, as part of our area across London and the South East. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. Both are part of what we install.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually 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.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical installation takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We plan the work so you’re without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before we start.
Do you need air source heat pumps in Bopeep?
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions and we confirm it before you go ahead.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
If you live near Knockholt station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.
Comparing quotes
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. 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. Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to Bopeep in advance.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Why it’s worth doing now in Bopeep
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application while the old heating still works. Hot weather is when everyone in London wants air conditioning, so it’s easier to plan the work in Bopeep early.
