What a heat pump looks like in Glynde
Central Glynde is inside the Glynde Conservation Area. About 31 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Glynde, The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin (grade II*) among them. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Lewes council, which typically handles Glynde where necessary. About 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If you live near Glynde station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

How we handle air source heat pumps in Glynde
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. If you’re dealing with ageing boilers that will need replacing and working out whether radiators need upsizing, we can help.
Homes around Glynde usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Questions from Glynde
Is Glynde within the area you cover?
Yes. Glynde is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Glynde?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Glynde, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
In England, many air source heat pumps on houses can be permitted development provided the conditions are met. These include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), not being used solely for cooling and not being within the curtilage of a listed building.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Glynde.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
