What owners can safely do
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Marks Tey
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Marks Tey and the rest of Essex. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. If you are dealing with questions about where the outdoor unit can go and checking emitters for a heat pump, we can help.
Homes around Marks Tey usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Marks Tey
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: 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.
FAQs for Marks Tey
Will a heat pump in Marks Tey need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 10 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Marks Tey. 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 Marks Tey, usually Colchester council) first.
Do you cover smaller places like Marks Tey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
It depends on your home and the system. The scheme gives £7,500 for eligible air-to-water or ground source systems, and £2,500 for air-to-air only under strict conditions. We check before you commit.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The survey lets us set a firm programme, so ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form to arrange one.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface, and the survey checks each one.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How it works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Visits to Marks Tey are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- 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.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
Heat pumps in Marks Tey: local notes
About 33% of homes in Marks Tey and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the last census (2021) found about 84% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Newer homes normally lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Historic houses such as Layer Marney Tower, about 3.9 miles south, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. For a home near Marks Tey station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.
