About our air source heat pumps in Cooper Street
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 cannot 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. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are deciding on the outdoor unit position and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Cooper Street, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What owners can safely do
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Heat pumps in Cooper Street: local notes
About 66% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Goodnestone Park lies about 4.8 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

Common questions in Cooper Street
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Cooper Street?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Cooper Street. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Dover council, which is normally the planning authority for Cooper Street first.
Will you come out to Cooper Street?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
As a guide, it takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before work begins.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, do the work, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Cooper Street so we arrive with what’s needed.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear access to the fuse board
Getting a price
Quotes do not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
