Managing agents and facilities teams in Selling
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Selling
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit can’t be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. We are often asked to deal with deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Selling, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
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.

What a heat pump looks like in Selling
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 39% of homes in and around Selling before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Belmont House and Gardens lies about 3.4 miles west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Selling is about 3 miles south-east of Faversham, in Kent. Anywhere in ME13, our engineers can take on air source heat pumps. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, Selling among them. We also work in Bromley, about 40 miles from Selling.
That includes properties on Selling Road, Selling Court and Vicarage Lane and the roads around them. Our working area takes in ME13, every street of it. Close to Selling, our area also takes in Perrywood (1 mile south), Hogben's Hill (1 mile west), Gushmere (1 mile north), Neames Forstal (1 mile east) and Crouch (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Ashford (9 miles south), Canterbury (7 miles east), Sittingbourne (10 miles north-west) and Whitstable (7 miles north-east).

How it works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We plan the trip to Selling around you.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- 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.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Common questions in Selling
Will a heat pump in Selling need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Selling sits inside the Selling (Incorporating Church and Luton House) 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 Swale council, which is normally the planning authority for Selling first.
Is the heat pump grant available in Selling?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Selling, if they qualify. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you cover Selling?
Yes. We cover Selling and across Kent, as part of our area across London and the South East. To book, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.

What affects the quote in Selling
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will talk you through it.

You do not need the technical terms. Just send:

A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
