Questions from Dartmouth Park
Will a heat pump in Dartmouth Park need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Dartmouth Park is in the Dartmouth Park Conservation Area. 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 the planning department at Camden council, typically the authority for Dartmouth Park first.
Is the heat pump grant available in Dartmouth Park?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Dartmouth Park, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Dartmouth Park
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. We are often asked to deal with no space for a hot water cylinder and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
In a flat in Dartmouth Park, the lease and the freeholder usually decide where a heat pump can go. Permitted development limits are different for flats, and we check before designing.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated since the grant goes through the installer.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
What owners can safely do
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
How the visit works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. Let us know who controls access to the building in Dartmouth Park, as that saves time on the day.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Heat pumps in Dartmouth Park: local notes
About 55% of homes in and around Dartmouth Park were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 80% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder usually has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Witanhurst, roughly 0.8 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. Period properties close to Church of St Mary Brookfield can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

How we price air source heat pumps
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, ring us on 07833 053749.

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
