PARKMEAD, PUTNEY SW15

A Complete Plumbing & Heating Transformation for a Large London Home


underfloor heating prep and installation


A Home This Beautiful Should Never Feel Uncomfortable

Weak showers. Cold rooms. Radiators that work “when they feel like it.”
A large detached home in Putney shouldn’t live like that — but the Parkmead homeowner was battling all of it.

They didn’t want guesswork.
They didn’t want more patch repairs.
They wanted a properly engineered system powered by experience and clarity.

So we rebuilt everything — the right way.


PROJECT SNAPSHOT

Location: Parkmead, Putney, London SW15
Property Type: Large detached family home
Scope: Full heating system overhaul, boosted pressure, UFH installation, two bathrooms, kitchen plumbing, cylinder + boiler upgrade


THE PROBLEM

When a heating and hot-water system is pieced together over years with no holistic design, a home starts to “fall apart” in ways that only the homeowner feels:

  • Hot water that runs out fast

  • Weak pressure at multiple outlets

  • Cold spots around the house

  • Radiators that never balance correctly

  • Rising energy bills

This system was never designed for modern usage — and that’s exactly why it kept failing.

The homeowner needed clarity, engineering, and a future-proof design.
