Questions from Leamouth
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Leamouth?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Leamouth holds about 11 listed buildings and structures. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Tower Hamlets council, normally the authority for Leamouth.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Leamouth?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Leamouth is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface, and the survey checks each one.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Leamouth
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders, and the jobs we see most are an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant.
A terrace in Leamouth shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
Since 2025, air-to-air heat pumps can also be permitted development in England, subject to the conditions. A unit used solely for cooling is not covered and need a check with the council.
Heat loss surveys
The survey works out the heat needed room by room. It’s the basis for sizing the heat pump and the radiators.
Heat pumps in Leamouth: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 81% of homes in and around Leamouth were built in 2000 or later, and about 88% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
For a home near Custom House station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. Older homes near Church of St Luke may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Leamouth
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
