What affects the quote in Brockhill
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The size of the job
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Brockhill
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. Common call-outs are for ageing boilers that will need replacing and planning and permitted development questions, on underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps.
If your home in or near Brockhill 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.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: 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, because it helps with any later warranty question.

How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. For a village like Brockhill, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a price
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Advice
Other services in Brockhill
After we’ve gone
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Keep to regular servicing
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Older homes near Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Historic houses such as St Leonard's Hill, about 3.4 miles north-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Brockhill
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Brockhill?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Brockhill holds about 6 listed buildings and structures. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Bracknell Forest council, normally the authority for Brockhill.
Is the heat pump grant available in Brockhill?
Brockhill is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
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, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Brockhill and across Bracknell Forest. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
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. We install both types.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
