About our air source heat pumps in Roydon Hamlet
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. If the problem is choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, we can help.
Older and listed homes in villages like Roydon Hamlet need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

FAQs for Roydon Hamlet
Is a heat pump in Roydon Hamlet permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Roydon Hamlet is a short walk from the Nazeing and South Roydon Conservation Area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Epping Forest council, usually the authority for Roydon Hamlet.
Do you cover smaller places like Roydon Hamlet?
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.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
Yes, but only where it becomes the home’s main heating. The £2,500 applies when it replaces the fossil-fuel heating, covers the full heating demand, is fitted by an MCS certified installer and serves a home. Fitted alongside a boiler, it will not qualify.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Looking after your system
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep to regular servicing
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork for future reference.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
What air source heat pumps can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll say what we think.

Heat pumps in Roydon Hamlet: local notes
About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Period properties close to Church of All Saints can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Visits to Roydon Hamlet are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
