Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Hodsoll Street
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. The work covers underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about moving away from fossil-fuel heating and ageing boilers that will need replacing.
For a home around Hodsoll Street that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Common questions in Hodsoll Street
Will a heat pump in Hodsoll Street need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. A conservation area takes in the middle of Hodsoll Street. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Sevenoaks council, usually the authority for Hodsoll Street.
Is Hodsoll Street within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. We check them all during the survey, so the quote covers any changes.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
Expect it to take anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
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 yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.

What a heat pump looks like in Hodsoll Street
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 45% of homes in and around Hodsoll Street to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and Census 2021 figures found about 66% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of Saint Peter? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. If your home is listed, like Cobham College about 4.5 miles north-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

What else we do in Hodsoll Street
How the job changes from property to property
Heat loss surveys
The survey covers the building fabric and how air moves through it along with the room sizes.
Hot water cylinders
Existing cylinders may not be suitable for a heat pump and we tell you if it needs replacing.
Leave it or put it right?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. The survey picks this up before installation. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Every job looked at before it’s priced
- Leading brands including Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric and Fujitsu
- One number for homes and businesses across London and the South East
- 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns

- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
