About our air source heat pumps in Wexham Court
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. 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 look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are no space for a hot water cylinder and planning and permitted development questions.
If your home in or near Wexham Court 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.
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. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What owners can safely do
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Rented and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Wexham Court and across Slough. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.

Homes in Wexham Court and heat pumps
The last census (2021) found about 39% of households in terraced houses. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
Live in one of the older houses around Parish Church of St Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Windsor Castle, roughly 3.4 miles south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

Local landmarks in Wexham Court

The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Wexham Court so we arrive with what’s needed.
- 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.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
Getting a price
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Advice
Questions from Wexham Court
Is Wexham Court within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is a heat pump in Wexham Court permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. There’s a conservation area, the Stoke Green Conservation Area, close to central Wexham Court. 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 the planning department at Slough council, typically the authority for Wexham Court first.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source, and we explain which suits your home.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
