Let and managed properties
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Air source heat pumps in Sherfield on Loddon
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. We’re often asked to deal with ageing boilers that will need replacing and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, across hot water cylinders, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps.
For a home around Sherfield on Loddon that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Homes in Sherfield on Loddon and heat pumps
Sherfield on Loddon’s centre falls inside the Sherfield on Loddon Conservation Area. Old Rectory, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 22 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Sherfield on Loddon’s centre. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the local planning authority (normally Basingstoke and Deane council) where necessary. About 40% of homes in Sherfield on Loddon and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and about 75% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Historic houses such as Stratfield Saye House, about 2.6 miles north-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St. Leonard? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Sherfield on Loddon can be planned properly.

Common questions in Sherfield on Loddon
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Sherfield on Loddon?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Sherfield on Loddon, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is Sherfield on Loddon within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically 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 yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
