- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
What we are called out for in Wickstreet
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air, which is why it fits that aim.
Customers typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
Older homes near The Parish Church of St Pancras may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Before booking anyone
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
About our air source heat pumps in Wickstreet
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. Common call-outs are for questions about where the outdoor unit can go and planning and permitted development questions, on underfloor heating, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps.
Older and listed homes in villages like Wickstreet need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

FAQs for Wickstreet
Can I fit a heat pump in Wickstreet without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 6 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Wickstreet. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Wealden council, which is typically the planning authority for Wickstreet.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Wickstreet?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Wickstreet, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Wickstreet
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Why act early in Wickstreet
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
