Safe owner checks
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
About our air source heat pumps in Street End
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Street End and the rest of West Sussex. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. If the problem is plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like Street End need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Street End questions
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Street End?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Street End, 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 Street End within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
It takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference and the timing is set out with your quote.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Common problems we fix in Street End
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They warm rooms directly through indoor units and switch to cooling in warm weather. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
Customers usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
Older homes near St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
The process
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Somewhere like Street End, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a price
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, call 07833 053749 or send an email.

What a heat pump looks like in Street End
Street End lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. About 56% of homes in the Street End area date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the 2021 Census found about 72% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. Street End’s centre falls inside the Sidlesham Church Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 22 within half a mile of the centre, such as The Parish Church of St Mary (grade I). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Chichester council, which usually handles Street End before the heat pump design is finished.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
