What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Bradenham.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Air source heat pumps in Bradenham
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. If the problem is choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, we can sort it out.
In a place like Bradenham, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

System by system
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get a £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant towards it and the installer applies.
Radiators and underfloor heating
At lower water temperatures, radiators give out less heat so we check them against each room’s heat loss.

FAQs for Bradenham
Will you come out to Bradenham?
Yes. Bradenham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Bradenham?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Bradenham Conservation Area takes in the middle of Bradenham. 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 Buckinghamshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Bradenham.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
Under HMRC Notice 708/6, a heat pump installed in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface, and the survey checks each one.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. 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.
Leave it or put it right?
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. If that applies to you, it’s worth asking about sooner rather than later. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Bradenham.
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.

Honest limits
Air source heat pumps cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 and we’ll say what we think.

The last census (2021) found about 81% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Botolph, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. West Wycombe Park House lies about 1.8 miles south. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
