Broadley Common questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Broadley Common?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Broadley Common is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you cover smaller places like Broadley Common?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
About our air source heat pumps in Broadley Common
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit can’t be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. We are often asked to deal with deciding on the outdoor unit position and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, across radiator systems, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
If your home in or near Broadley Common is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Rented and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
How we price air source heat pumps
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many units are involved
- The brand, model and parts involved
- The condition of any existing system
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
Before you get in touch
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
To get a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few photos make it quicker. You’ll hear back from us the same working day.
What air conditioning won’t do
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Air source heat pumps in Broadley Common: the local picture
About 42% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. In a terrace, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need particular care. The middle of Broadley Common is part of the Nazeing and South Roydon Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 11 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of All Saints (grade I). For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Epping Forest council, which typically handles Broadley Common where necessary.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of All Saints, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker.
