Air source heat pumps in Lamberhurst
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
In a place like Lamberhurst, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Questions from Lamberhurst
Is the heat pump grant available in Lamberhurst?
Lamberhurst is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Lamberhurst?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. A conservation area takes in the middle of Lamberhurst. 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 Lamberhurst, usually Tunbridge Wells council) first.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. 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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Lamberhurst
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
The things we are asked about most include:
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
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.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Lamberhurst
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us.
Homes in Lamberhurst and heat pumps
About 47% of homes in the Lamberhurst area were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Scotney Castle lies about 0.9 miles south-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Visits to Lamberhurst are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Tell us about parking and loading
