How we handle air source heat pumps in Picket Twenty
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas.
In a place like Picket Twenty, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What a heat pump looks like in Picket Twenty
About 81% of homes in the Picket Twenty area have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. At about 62 miles from central London, Picket Twenty sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East.
Older homes near United Reformed Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- What kind of system it is
- What electrical work the job needs
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because every property is different. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. 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 anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Picket Twenty easier.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive

Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
Picket Twenty: your questions answered
Can you do air source heat pumps in Picket Twenty?
Yes. Picket Twenty is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Is Picket Twenty within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules. In England and Wales, the scheme offers £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump only in limited cases, and we check before you commit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
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. Please treat this as general information, not tax advice.
