Air source heat pumps around Flishinghurst
About 35% of homes in and around Flishinghurst were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and about 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. Central Flishinghurst is inside a conservation area. On the National Heritage List, around 9 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Flishinghurst; Manor Farmhouse (grade II) is one. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (normally Tunbridge Wells council).
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Flishinghurst is about 11 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Our engineers cover Flishinghurst for air source heat pumps, along with the rest of Kent. Flishinghurst is one of 922 places in Kent where we work. You can also see our page for East Grinstead, about 23 miles away.

Air source heat pumps in Flishinghurst, done properly
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. If the problem is replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and comparing heat pump types, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like Flishinghurst need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- What electrical work the job needs
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Before you get in touch
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
If you are not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Flishinghurst?
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
If your home is listed, like Scotney Castle about 4.5 miles west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
Questions from Flishinghurst
Is the heat pump grant available in Flishinghurst?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Flishinghurst is in England, where it applies. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will you come out to Flishinghurst?
Yes. Flishinghurst is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
How the visit works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We plan the trip to Flishinghurst around you.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Get a fixed-price quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
