Our Capabilities

Designed, fabricated and tested in-house

Our engineers design and fabricate packaged boiler plant rooms using components from established suppliers, including Ferroli and Hamworthy boilers, Riello burners, Grundfos pumps and Sondex heat exchangers. Supplier relationships also help us access parts and spares for servicing and repairs.

Plant rooms can incorporate heat exchangers, pumps, dual circuits, pressurisation units and associated pipework. This allows us to tailor a complete heating and hot water package to the project rather than simply deliver a boiler.

Our fabrication facilities in Andover and London support both established designs and project-specific builds. ISO 9001 quality management provides an additional framework for our processes.

  • In-house boiler plant fabrication facilities in Andover and London
  • Standard and bespoke containerised plant room builds
  • Boiler capacities from 100kW to 2MW
  • ISO 9001 certified in-house fabrication, assembly & testing
  • Installation and commissioning support.

Bespoke Builds

Solutions for restricted and complex sites

Where standard packaged plant will not fit, we can develop small-footprint or trailerised solutions around access restrictions, plant layout and existing connections. Bespoke condensing boiler packages recover heat that conventional boilers would otherwise lose through the flue, helping reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. Low-NOx configurations can also help limit nitrogen oxide emissions.

Flue extensions and dilution systems can be incorporated where site conditions require them, subject to the installation design and applicable requirements. Gas, oil and dual-fuel burner options provide flexibility according to available services and project needs.

A bespoke build generally takes around 12 weeks, depending on the specification and site requirements. Our engineers can advise on available fleet equipment and project timescales.

Packaged boiler plant rooms can be configured for heating, hot water or dual-circuit applications. Dual-circuit configurations allow heating and domestic hot water requirements to be served within the same plant room.

Plate heat exchangers and domestic hot water plate packs allow separation of circuits and integration with existing services, and can be incorporated alongside pumps, controls and other ancillary equipment to suit the project. This means a single temporary plant installation can support heating and hot water requirements during refurbishment or replacement works.

Plant rooms can incorporate heat exchangers, pumps, pressurisation units, low-loss headers, manifolds, buffer vessels, frost protection, controls and associated pipework. Hamworthy has supported the development of our high-efficiency condensing and small-footprint boiler solutions, while Ferroli Prextherm RSW boilers are also used within our plant builds.

Our supplier relationships extend to Riello gas, oil and dual-fuel burners, Grundfos pumps, Siemens pressurisation units, Sondex heat exchangers and Grasslin frost stats. This gives our engineers flexibility when specifying a plant room and access to replacement components and spares for servicing and repairs.

Our team of fully qualified engineers is highly experienced and holds the necessary certifications, including Gas Safe registration for gas installations and OFTEC accreditation for oil systems. This guarantees expert service and adherence to all relevant safety and industry standards.

Compact, slimline and trailerised boiler solutions can be developed for locations where standard containerised plant rooms cannot be accommodated.

Bespoke low-NOx condensing boiler packages can also be incorporated into small-footprint designs. Condensing technology use additional heat exchange to recover heat from flue gases that would otherwise be lost, improving efficiency and potentially reducing fuel consumption, running costs and associated CO₂ emissions. Performance depends on operating conditions, particularly return-water temperature.

Our Riello burner plant rooms can be configured for gas, oil and dual-fuel options, depending on the equipment and available services. Gas-fired installations can connect to existing mains supplies, while oil-fired systems can be supported by independent fuel tanks.

Flue extensions and dilution systems can be incorporated to manage the discharge and dispersion of combustion products.

Our engineers assess site conditions and specify appropriate flue arrangements with consideration for the Clean Air Act, applicable environmental requirements and relevant emissions standards. Final compliance depends on the equipment, fuel, installation design and site conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you manufacture the boilers yourselves?

We design and fabricate the packaged plant rooms at our Andover and London facilities. The boiler bodies are supplied by manufacturers including Hamworthy and Ferroli, then integrated with the burners, pipework, controls and other equipment required for the project.

Can you provide both heating and hot water?

Yes. Packaged plant rooms can include dual circuits, plate heat exchangers and domestic hot water plate packs to support heating and hot water from a single installation.

What sizes and configurations are available?

The original range includes 100kW, 300kW, 500kW, 600kW, 1.2MW and 2MW containerised boiler options in 10ft, 20ft and low-footprint formats. Modular configurations can support larger duties, with the final selection based on the site.

Can you build for restricted-access sites?

Yes. Small-footprint, slimline and trailerised boiler units can be considered where a standard containerised installation is unsuitable. Bespoke flue arrangements and connections can also be assessed.

How do condensing boilers reduce fuel use?

Condensing boilers recover additional heat from flue gases through a heat exchanger. This can improve efficiency and reduce fuel consumption, running costs and CO₂ emissions compared with conventional designs. Low-NOx configurations can also reduce nitrogen oxide emissions.

Can you include pumps, heat exchangers and pressurisation?

Yes. Plant rooms can incorporate system pumps, plate heat exchangers, pressurisation units, manifolds, low-loss headers, buffer vessels, controls and associated pipework to suit the application.

Can you provide fuel management for temporary boiler plant rooms?

Yes. We can supply bunded fuel tanks and arrange fuel replenishment for oil-fired boiler installations. Remote fuel monitoring can also be provided to help track fuel levels and coordinate top-ups, reducing the risk of an interruption to heating or hot water.

Can boiler plant rooms be fitted with remote monitoring?

Yes. Remote telemetry is available as an optional service on suitable hire equipment. It can monitor operating conditions, including temperatures, power and fault status, with alerts to help our engineers identify issues and respond before they affect heating or hot water provision.

How long does a bespoke plant room take to build?

Around 12 weeks is a general guide. The programme depends on the specification, component availability and site requirements. Existing fleet units may be suitable where the timescale is shorter.

Do you install and maintain the plant?

Our engineers can support installation, commissioning and handover. Servicing and maintenance are provided throughout the hire, with optional remote telemetry for suitable hire equipment.
