Ringmer: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Ringmer?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is a heat pump in Ringmer permitted development?
It depends on the property. Central Ringmer is a short walk from the Ringmer Conservation Area. 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 the planning department at Lewes council, normally the authority for Ringmer first.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, 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.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you protect the property while you work?
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.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Ringmer
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £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. Common call-outs are for finding a place for the outdoor unit and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, across hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps.
Homes around Ringmer usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

What else we do in Ringmer
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The condition of any existing system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Before you get in touch
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
If you need air source heat pumps in Ringmer, call 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, plus some pictures if they’re to hand. We reply the same working day.
What owners can safely do
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
What a heat pump looks like in Ringmer
About 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Glyndebourne, roughly 1.1 miles south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. If your home is one of the older properties near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Planning approval where permitted development doesn’t apply
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you are not sure, just ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work

- Radiator systems
- Hot water cylinders
- Air-to-water heat pumps
- Homes heated by oil, LPG or gas
- Underfloor heating
How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Ringmer.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Quotes don’t take long. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
