Air source heat pumps in Lamberhurst Quarter, done properly
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. Typical jobs include replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, across air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and radiator systems.
For a home around Lamberhurst Quarter that is 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, on top of the £7,500.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start 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. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Lamberhurst Quarter can be planned properly.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Looking after your system
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Diary the next service
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
What a heat pump looks like in Lamberhurst Quarter
The last census (2021) found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. The centre of Lamberhurst Quarter lies within a conservation area. Old Swan Farmhouse, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 8 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Lamberhurst Quarter’s centre. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Tunbridge Wells council, which typically handles Lamberhurst Quarter where necessary.
Scotney Castle, roughly 2.7 miles south-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Lamberhurst Quarter: your questions answered
Will you come out to Lamberhurst Quarter?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Lamberhurst Quarter?
Lamberhurst Quarter is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme though not every home qualifies.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
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 you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
