What we do, step by step
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. The visit takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Somewhere like Roydon, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Air source heat pumps in Roydon
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and the jobs we see most are ageing boilers that will need replacing and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
For a home around Roydon that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Common questions in Roydon
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Roydon?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Roydon is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to Roydon?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
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. Keep every service record either way.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.
Heat pumps in Roydon: local notes
About 42% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important. Roydon’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Roydon Village Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Roydon and it takes in 2 conservation areas. Church of St Peter, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 35 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Roydon’s centre. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (typically Epping Forest council).
Live in one of the older houses around St Peter's Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. If you live near Roydon station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.

A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:

For landlords and property managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
