FAQs for Bradley
Will you come out to Bradley?
Yes. Bradley 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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Bradley?
Bradley is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
Under the Planning Portal rules, a heat pump on a house can often be permitted development. Listed buildings are excluded, and listed building consent is separate. We check what applies to you.
Air source heat pumps in Bradley, done properly
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. If you are dealing with a boiler that’s getting old and no space for a hot water cylinder, we can help.
For a home around Bradley that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: 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.

What we’re called out for in Bradley
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved, and we explain the grant position for your home.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
Older homes near Church of All Saints may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Before booking anyone
- If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
- What records you get at the end
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
What happens on the day
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. 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 several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Bradley.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in

Advice
Homes in Bradley and heat pumps
The Bradley Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Bradley. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Bradley. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 7 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of All Saints (grade II*). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with East Hampshire council, usually the planning authority here. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 32% of homes across Bradley and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and Census 2021 figures found about 87% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Hall Place about 1.9 miles south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
