Sable Projects
Portland Road, Notting Hill, London W11
A full plumbing and heating system designed for a 6-storey townhouse — efficient hot water, underfloor heating, and modern bathrooms throughout
Project Overview
Project Type:
Complete Plumbing & Heating System – 6-Storey Townhouse
Location:
Portland Road, Notting Hill, London W11
Client Goal:
Deliver a robust, high-capacity plumbing system capable of serving a six-storey townhouse with multiple bathrooms, efficient heating, and reliable hot water supply. Radiators waste wall space, collect dust, and never heat evenly.
Scope of Work
Boiler Installation: Supplied and installed an Elco commercial gas boiler providing robust, energy-efficient heating performance.
Water Pressure Boosting: Fitted a Duty Point Scuba Tank to maintain stable water pressure across all six floors.
Hot Water System: Installed a Megaflo unvented hot water cylinder for consistent, high-pressure delivery.
Underfloor Heating: Installed a wet UFH system across lower floors for discreet, even warmth.
Radiators: Fitted modern radiators throughout upper levels for responsive heat distribution.
Bathrooms: Completed full plumbing installations for three luxury bathrooms, including concealed pipework and high-spec sanitaryware.
System Commissioning: Full testing, balancing, and commissioning in line with manufacturer standards.
The Process
1. Design & Planning
We worked closely with the homeowner and builder to create a fully integrated plumbing and heating layout tailored to a six-storey vertical structure.
Detailed heat loss and flow-rate calculations ensured balanced heating and hot water performance across every level.
2. Installation
Installed concealed primary and secondary pipework for a clean, seamless finish.
Connected the Elco commercial gas boiler to dual heating circuits serving both UFH and radiators.
Integrated a Duty Point Scuba Tank for stable, boosted pressure throughout the tall townhouse.
Installed a Megaflo unvented cylinder for reliable, high-pressure hot water.
Carried out full plumbing installations for Three bathrooms, including wall-hung toilets, concealed shower valves, and modern fixtures.
4. Testing & Handover
Every component was pressure-tested, flushed, and commissioned.
The client received a complete demonstration, including boiler operation, thermostat control, and water pressure management.
Challenges & Solutions
Vertical Distribution: Six floors presented a challenge for maintaining balanced pressure and temperature. The Duty Point Scuba Tank provided a stable, boosted water supply to all outlets.
Compact Plant Space: We designed a bespoke plant layout to house the boiler, cylinder, and pump system efficiently without compromising access or serviceability.
Efficiency Targets: The Elco high-efficiency boiler and advanced digital controls achieved both energy savings and improved performance.
Outcome
The result is a high-performance heating and plumbing system delivering year-round comfort and efficiency:
Consistent water pressure across all six levels
Even, energy-efficient heating through UFH and radiators
Intuitive system controls for effortless operation
Compact, serviceable plant design built for longevity
This project demonstrates how Sable Projects combines engineering expertise, premium installation standards, and London-specific experience to deliver lasting results in high-end, multi-storey homes.
