Nash Street: your questions answered
Is Nash Street within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is a heat pump in Nash Street permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Nash Street holds about 8 listed buildings and structures. 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 Nash Street, usually Wealden council).
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air does not heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
Homes pay 0% VAT on a heat pump installation until 31 March 2027, then 5%. The relief does not cover businesses, and this is not tax advice.
Air source heat pumps in Nash Street, done properly
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about moving away from fossil-fuel heating and working out where a cylinder could go.
Older and listed homes in villages like Nash Street need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Homes in Nash Street and heat pumps
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 36% of homes in the Nash Street area were built in 2000 or later, and about 76% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near The Parish Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Nash Street is about 3 miles north-west of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Homes and businesses alike in Nash Street, our engineers can help with air source heat pumps. You will hear back from us the same working day, and there’s a 24/7 emergency line. In East Sussex alone we list 289 places and Nash Street is among them. Eastbourne, roughly 8 miles off, has its own page on this site.
The closest recent job we can point to from Nash Street was on South Road, Hailsham (BN27), about 3 miles south-east: installing individual wall-mounted units in 12 resident bedrooms, two communal lounges and the dining room: 15 units in total served by three outdoor units.
All of BN27 is within our area, from busy streets to back roads. Nearby, we also cover air source heat pumps in Lower Dicker (1 mile south-east), Upper Dicker (2 miles south), Lower Horsebridge (2 miles south-east), Tile Hurst (2 miles south-east) and Upper Horsebridge (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (8 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (12 miles east), Seaford (9 miles south-west) and Lewes (9 miles west).
Landmarks near Nash Street
In Nash Street, that means homes and buildings near The Golden Cross Inn and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Berwick (Sussex) station, roughly 3.9 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are Sussex Farm Museum (3.3 miles north-east) and Hellingly Hospital Railway (2.6 miles east). The countryside around Nash Street includes Selwyns Wood.
Why deal with it now?
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain which makes sense for you. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Nash Street?
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
If your home is listed, like Horselunges Manor about 2 miles east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. For a village like Nash Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

What the work involves, system by system
Heat loss surveys
We look at walls, windows, floors, roofs and ventilation along with the room sizes.
Radiators and underfloor heating
At lower water temperatures, radiators give out less heat so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
A customer’s words
“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.”
