About our air source heat pumps in Gallows Corner
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. We are often asked to deal with ageing boilers that will need replacing and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, on hot water cylinders, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
In a flat in Gallows Corner, the lease and the freeholder normally decide where a heat pump can go. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, so we check the position before we design.
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. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
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.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.
Why deal with it now?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. Allow time for any approvals your building in Gallows Corner needs.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Gallows Corner: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Gallows Corner?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Gallows Corner is in England, where it applies. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Gallows Corner?
Normally, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
Do you need air source heat pumps in Gallows Corner?
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
Period properties close to St Michael and All Angels Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

What we do, step by step
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A few pictures of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Gallows Corner.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
