Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets.

- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.

Air source heat pumps in Lenham Forstal, done properly
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. We’re often asked to deal with choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and working out where a cylinder could go, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
In a place like Lenham Forstal, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Common problems we fix in Lenham Forstal
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. Until March 2027, an extra £1,500 is available for air source and ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
Period properties close to Church of the Holy Trinity can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Lenham Forstal
Is Lenham Forstal within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Lenham Forstal?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 8 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Lenham Forstal. 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 the local planning authority (for Lenham Forstal, usually Ashford council).
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, 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.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
