How we handle air source heat pumps in Stockbury
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. If the problem is no space for a hot water cylinder and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, we can sort it out.
In a place like Stockbury, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not 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’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Common problems we fix in Stockbury
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
If your home is one of the older properties near St Mary Magdalene Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
Homes in Stockbury and heat pumps
The last census (2021) found about 48% of households in terraced houses. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Stockbury
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Before you get in touch
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

What else we do in Stockbury
Managing agents and facilities teams in Stockbury
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Stockbury
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Stockbury?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 13 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Stockbury. 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 Maidstone council, which is normally the planning authority for Stockbury.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Stockbury?
Stockbury is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do you work in Stockbury?
Yes. We cover Stockbury and across Kent, as part of our area across London and the South East. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical installation takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short, and we explain it in advance.
How the visit works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Stockbury.
