FAQs for Stonehill Green
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Stonehill Green?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 1 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Stonehill Green. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Dartford council, typically the authority for Stonehill Green.
Is the heat pump grant available in Stonehill Green?
Stonehill Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
Is Stonehill Green in your area?
Yes. We cover Stonehill Green and across Kent, as part of our area across London and the South East. To book, call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Stonehill Green
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. We are often asked to deal with working out where a cylinder could go and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, across radiator systems, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders.
If your home in or near Stonehill Green is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by air source heat pumps, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
If you are not sure, just ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What a heat pump looks like in Stonehill Green
About 13 miles out from central London, Stonehill Green is part of the South East area we work across. Census 2021 figures found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Hall Place and Gardens, roughly 2.4 miles north, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. Live in one of the older houses around St Peter? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

What owners can safely do
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
What happens on the day
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Stonehill Green.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
