About our air source heat pumps in Leaden Roding
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit can’t be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are working out whether radiators need upsizing and no space for a hot water cylinder.
In a place like Leaden Roding, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we clear up before we go. If a lane or gateway near Leaden Roding is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Rented and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Homes in Leaden Roding and heat pumps
About 84% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. With Barrington Hall about 3.8 miles north-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Different systems, different jobs
VAT on heat pumps
Heat pumps in homes carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, and 5% after that, under HMRC Notice 708/6. It doesn’t apply to businesses.
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump heats water for your radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water cylinder. It takes over from the boiler and we install it to MCS standards.
What happens if it’s left?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Booking before summer means the work in Leaden Roding is done before the hot weather.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Leaden Roding: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Leaden Roding?
Leaden Roding is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Leaden Roding?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 16 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Leaden Roding. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Uttlesford council, which is typically the planning authority for Leaden Roding.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
