How we handle air source heat pumps in Holloway Down
An air-to-water heat pump costs £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 as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. If you are dealing with no space for a hot water cylinder and checking whether planning permission is needed, we can help.
In a flat in Holloway Down, the lease and the freeholder normally decide where a heat pump can go. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

What happens on the day
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Some blocks in Holloway Down need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- 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.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
How to prepare
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Holloway Down: your questions answered
Can I fit a heat pump in Holloway Down without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 8 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Holloway Down. 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 planning department at Newham council, normally the authority for Holloway Down first.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Holloway Down?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually have a say. 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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source and the survey helps decide.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.

Heat pumps in Holloway Down: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 53% of homes in the Holloway Down area before 1919, and about 49% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Sutton House, roughly 2.4 miles west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. For a home near Maryland station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.

If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated since the grant goes through the installer.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running as explained at handover.
Why deal with it now?
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases, and we explain which fits your home. Hot weather is when everyone in London wants air conditioning, so it’s easier to plan the work in Holloway Down early.
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
