Why it’s worth doing now in North Street
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.

How we handle air source heat pumps in North Street
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and not knowing whether a grant applies.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near North Street, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What affects the quote in North Street
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- Your installation or service records
- The make and model of the system, from the label

Air source heat pumps around North Street
About 39% of homes in and around North Street were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the 2021 Census found about 46% of households in terraced houses. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
If your home is listed, like Belmont House and Gardens about 2 miles south-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

North Street: your questions answered
Will you come out to North Street?
Yes. North Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re 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 North Street without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of North Street holds about 6 listed buildings and structures. 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 Swale council, which is normally the planning authority for North Street first.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
An installation takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email to book it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to North Street.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
How to get a quote
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

Common problems we fix in North Street
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved along with whether any grant could apply.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St James, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
