Let and managed properties
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
Air source heat pumps in Godinton
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales and the installer makes the application. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. We are often asked to deal with not knowing whether a grant applies and deciding on the outdoor unit position, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
Cottages and older homes near Godinton can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

What else we do in Godinton
Common questions in Godinton
Is the heat pump grant available in Godinton?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Godinton is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Will a heat pump in Godinton need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Godinton sits inside a 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 Ashford council, which is usually the planning authority for Godinton first.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
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 circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Leave it or put it right?
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Godinton
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The size of the job
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, a few photos, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, call 07833 053749.
Air source heat pumps around Godinton

With Godinton House about 0.8 miles north-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
