Rented and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
Air source heat pumps in The Village
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home.
If your home in or near The Village 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.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in The Village
Can I fit a heat pump in The Village without planning permission?
It depends on the property. The centre of The Village is in a 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 Windsor and Maidenhead council, which is typically the planning authority for The Village first.
Is the heat pump grant available in The Village?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: The Village is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
Expect it to take a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you cover The Village?
Yes. We cover The Village and across Windsor and Maidenhead, within the London and South East area we cover. For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749.
Heat pumps in The Village: local notes
At about 24 miles from central London, The Village sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
The Village is about 2 miles south of Windsor, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Whatever kind of property you have in The Village, our engineers can help with air source heat pumps. You’ll hear back from us the same working day and our emergency line runs 24/7. Across Windsor and Maidenhead, we cover 57 places, The Village among them. For properties nearby, see our Guildford page (14 miles or so).
Our nearest recent job to The Village was on Church Street, Staines-upon-Thames (TW18), about 6 miles east: installing two LG wall-mounted units in the main office area and a single unit in the client meeting room.
Our engineers work on Sheet Street Road and Forest Road and the roads around them. Postcode districts we cover here: SL4. We also cover the places around The Village: Cranbourne (1 mile west), Woodside (1 mile south-west), Plaistow Green (2 miles west), Cheapside (2 miles south) and Brookside (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Maidenhead (7 miles north-west), Boyn Hill (6 miles north-west), North Ascot (3 miles south-west) and Cookham (9 miles north-west).
Around The Village
Around The Village, our work takes us to homes and businesses near Windsor Great Park and the streets around them. The Village’s nearest station is Windsor & Eton Central station, roughly 3 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Windsor Castle (3.1 miles north-east) and King Edward VII Hospital (2.3 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Bray Pit and Virginia Water Lake.
The process
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. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in The Village.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a price
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because every property is different. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Advice
What we’re called out for in The Village
People also ask about air-to-air heat pumps because they heat and cool. They warm rooms directly through indoor units, and can cool them when it’s hot. Whether a grant applies depends on the scheme conditions.
Common reasons people call us include:
- A boiler that is getting old
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
If your home is listed, like St Leonard's Hill about 1.7 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- What records you get at the end
Why deal with it now?
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application before you need the heat. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.
