Air source heat pumps in Hackney Marshes, done properly
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Hackney Marshes and the rest of Greater London. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We will explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are finding a place for the outdoor unit and checking whether planning permission is needed.
For flats in Hackney Marshes, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. Permitted development limits are different for flats, and we check before designing.
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 we do, step by step
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The more we can see beforehand, the smoother the visit to Hackney Marshes will be.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
Getting a quote
Quotes don’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Advice
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of any existing system
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Your installation or service records
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Hackney Marshes
Will a heat pump in Hackney Marshes need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Hackney Marshes holds about 7 listed buildings and structures. 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 local planning authority (for Hackney Marshes, normally Waltham Forest council) first.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Hackney Marshes?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Hackney Marshes, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Can I do any of the installation 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.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
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. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Air source heat pumps in Hackney Marshes: the local picture
Census 2021 figures found about 65% of households live in flats. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder typically 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.
If your home is listed, like Sutton House about 1.1 miles south-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. If your home is near Lea Bridge station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

What else we do in Hackney Marshes
Why deal with it now?
The extra £1,500 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas is available until March 2027. If that applies to you, it’s worth asking about sooner rather than later. If a lease or managing agent is involved in Hackney Marshes, start the conversation early.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
