Complete Plumbing & Heating Installation – Large Detached Property

Project Overview



Project Type:

This high-end residential project in Northwood involved the full design and installation of a complete plumbing and heating system for a large detached family home.


Location:

Bedford Road, Northwood, HA6


Client Goal:

To deliver a complete, high-performance plumbing and heating solution that provided consistent hot water, balanced pressure, and energy-efficient heating across every floor.

Scope of Work

  • Heating System: Installed two high-efficiency gas boilers working in tandem with an air source heat pump for a flexible, energy-efficient hybrid setup.

  • Hot Water System: Fitted two unvented hot water cylinders with dual accumulators for stable, high-pressure water supply.

  • Underfloor Heating: Installed UFH systems across all floors with zoned control for even heat distribution.

  • Bathrooms: Completed full plumbing installations for five luxury bathrooms, including concealed fittings and premium sanitaryware.

  • Pipework: Installed Geberit Mepla multilayer pipework throughout for longevity and precision.

  • Drainage Systems: Implemented foul and surface water sump drainage systems in the basement to prevent flooding.

  • System Commissioning: Full testing, balancing, and manufacturer-standard commissioning.

The Process

1. Design & Coordination

  • We worked collaboratively with the client, architect, and M&E consultant to produce a complete plumbing and heating layout.
    Detailed heat load and flow calculations ensured the boilers, heat pump, and cylinders were correctly sized and balanced for optimal hybrid operation.

2. First Fix Installation

  • Installed Geberit Mepla multilayer pipework for all hot and cold water, heating, and UFH loops.

  • Laid UFH pipework across all floors prior to screeding and connected manifolds.

  • Installed foul and surface water sump systems in the basement with pumps and controls.

3. Second Fix & Commissioning

  • Installed two gas boilers and an air source heat pump, integrated through a hybrid control system for seamless operation.

  • Fitted two unvented cylinders and accumulators to maintain pressure consistency.

  • Installed radiators, UFH manifolds, and five bathrooms with luxury finishes.

  • Carried out flushing, testing, and final commissioning to guarantee performance and efficiency.

Challenges & Solutions



Hybrid Heating Integration:

Combining dual boilers and an ASHP required precision control logic. We developed a smart system balance to automatically switch between heat sources depending on temperature and demand.

Basement Drainage:

The basement needed dual foul and surface systems with independent sumps and backup alarms for complete reliability.

Pressure Management:

With multiple bathrooms and UFH zones, dual accumulators and balanced manifolds ensured stable, high-pressure delivery throughout the home.

Outcome

The result is a technically advanced, beautifully engineered system that delivers consistent comfort, high efficiency, and long-term reliability.

The client now benefits from:

  • A hybrid heating system combining renewable and traditional energy

  • High-pressure hot and cold water throughout the property

  • Even, zoned heating across every floor via UFH and radiators

  • Five premium bathrooms with concealed plumbing and elegant design

  • Reliable drainage systems with flood protection in the basement

  • A future-ready installation blending sustainability with luxury performance
