What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. In a London area like Monkhams, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.

How to prepare

How we handle air source heat pumps in Monkhams
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and not knowing whether a grant applies.
Terraced houses in a London area like Monkhams can suit a heat pump well, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
Think of the paperwork as the 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, so keep it safe.

FAQs for Monkhams
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Monkhams?
Usually, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Can I fit a heat pump in Monkhams without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Woodford Wells Conservation Area takes in the middle of Monkhams. 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 Redbridge council, which is usually the planning authority for Monkhams.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
We check the scheme rules for your property before you go ahead. The installer applies for the grant, so we handle the application if you’re eligible.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Monkhams and across Greater London. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. 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.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Monkhams
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- What kind of system it is
- How many units are involved
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Before you get in touch
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The make and model of the system, from the label
For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few photos make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.

Why deal with it now?
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for before you need the heat. Allow time for any approvals your building in Monkhams needs.
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.

Air source heat pumps in Monkhams: the local picture
About 31% of homes in the Monkhams area were built between the wars, according to VOA council tax data. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
If your home is listed, like Valentines Mansion about 3.6 miles south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

- A boiler that is getting old
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
