About our air source heat pumps in Tickham
We install air source heat pumps in Tickham and across Kent, and we’re MCS certified. 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 will explain which type fits your home and why. If the problem is checking whether planning permission is needed and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Tickham, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Why act early in Tickham
If the emitters cannot give out enough heat, some rooms won’t get warm enough. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What happens on the day
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Tickham.

- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.

Before we arrive

Air source heat pumps around Tickham
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 35% of homes in Tickham and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and about 69% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. If your home is listed, like Belmont House and Gardens about 3.2 miles south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

FAQs for Tickham
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Tickham?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Tickham holds about 12 listed buildings and structures. 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 Swale council, which is typically the planning authority for Tickham first.
Do you cover smaller places like Tickham?
Yes. Tickham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Tickham and across Kent. Let us know who the records should go to.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.

Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats and blocks of flats have different limits, and Article 4 directions can remove rights. Listed building consent is a separate matter, and we check the position for your property.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating works well with heat pumps because it uses lower temperatures, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
Let and managed properties
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
