Why it’s worth doing now in North End
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases, and we explain which fits your home. Planning ahead in North End means you choose the date, not the weather.
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in North End
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers radiator systems, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about checking whether planning permission is needed and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
In a London area like North End, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, which affects which heat pump suits. An air-to-water system needs space outside and typically a hot water cylinder inside, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

The process
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. The visit takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to North End in advance.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

What owners can safely do
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
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. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.

Live in one of the older houses around St. Augustine's Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. For a home near Slade Green station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.

What the work involves, system by system

Heat loss surveys
Getting the survey right avoids undersized or oversized systems and that matters for comfort and running.

North End questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in North End?
North End is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in North End?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Oak Road Conservation Area is close to the centre of North End. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Bexley council, which is normally the planning authority for North End.
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.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Will I get records for the system?
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.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
