Air source heat pumps in Clatterford End
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. 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 look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are deciding on the outdoor unit position and checking whether planning permission is needed.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Clatterford End, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
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.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Clatterford End
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.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Comparing heat pump types
If your home is one of the older properties near Greensted Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Before you book anyone

Questions from Clatterford End
Is the heat pump grant available in Clatterford End?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Clatterford End is in England, where it applies. 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 you cover smaller places like Clatterford End?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
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.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking and we’ll gladly show you ours.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.

Oak Cottage, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 12 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Clatterford End’s centre.

Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump heats water for your radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water cylinder. It takes over from the boiler and we install it to MCS standards.
