Managing agents and facilities teams in Woodend
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
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 on a regular cycle.
About our air source heat pumps in Woodend
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside 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, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
Older and listed homes in villages like Woodend need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
What air source heat pumps cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
If you’re not sure, just ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will give you a straight answer.

Air source heat pumps around Woodend
The last census (2021) found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of the Holy Trinity, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

FAQs for Woodend
Is Woodend within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Woodend?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Woodend is a short walk from the Soberton Pumping Station Conservation Area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Winchester City council, which is normally the planning authority for Woodend.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
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 and the quote shows what’s needed.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, 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. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Woodend so we arrive with what’s needed.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
How to prepare
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
