How we handle air source heat pumps in Touchen-end
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. Common call-outs are for checking emitters for a heat pump and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, on air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and hot water cylinders.
For a home around Touchen-end that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Touchen-end
Do you cover smaller places like Touchen-end?
Yes. Touchen-end is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is the heat pump grant available in Touchen-end?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Touchen-end is in England, where it applies. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken 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.
Homes in Touchen-end and heat pumps
The middle of Touchen-end is part of a conservation area. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with Windsor and Maidenhead council, typically the planning authority here. The 2021 Census found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Dorney Court about 2.9 miles north-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form for straight advice and a fixed price.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

What else we do in Touchen-end
Looking after your system
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Keep to regular servicing
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note and it’s part of how the system works.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
How the visit works
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. On site, the work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Work in Touchen-end is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
