Homes in Mowshurst and heat pumps
At about 21 miles from central London, Mowshurst sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East.
If your home is listed, like Hever Castle about 2.3 miles south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Peter and St Paul, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Air source heat pumps in Mowshurst
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
Older and listed homes in villages like Mowshurst need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Mowshurst
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How easy the units are to reach
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The pipe route between the units
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Before you get in touch
What to send for a quote:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Mowshurst
Is Mowshurst within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I fit a heat pump in Mowshurst without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Mowshurst is in a conservation area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with Sevenoaks council, which is normally the planning authority for Mowshurst.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
The work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can phone us on 07833 053749 or email us to book it.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
Under HMRC Notice 708/6, a heat pump installed in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote.
How the visit works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Somewhere like Mowshurst, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

System by system
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales: £7,500 for air-to-water (and ground source), and £2,500 for air-to-air with strict conditions. The application goes through the installer.
Air-to-air heat pumps
The £2,500 grant for air-to-air applies only when the system replaces the fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s demand. It also has to be fitted by an MCS certified installer, in a home.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
