Oracle – Boiler replacement
Background:
The existing three boilers on site were due life cycle replacement. The client specified the boiler manufacturer and allowed us to select the right solution for them. The existing boilers were obsolete, unreliable, and overall energy inefficient.
Solution:
We opted to install three Remeha Gas 220 ACE boilers in place of the old boilers. Using the existing system design we adapted the new modern boilers into the existing footprint. In summary, replacing old inefficient boilers offers numerous benefits, including improved energy efficiency, cost savings, enhanced reliability, reduced environmental impact, compliance with regulations, and better control and monitoring capabilities. It’s a strategic investment that can yield significant returns in financial savings and operational efficiency.

Hot Water System Enhancement at London Premiership Football Club
CBRE and UK South Services executed a critical hot water system upgrade at a renowned London Premiership football club, transitioning from outdated equipment to Rinnai’s state-of-the-art continuous flow units.
The installation included 10 Rinnai Sensei N series 1600 models, known for their energy-efficient operation and instantaneous hot water delivery. This system was integrated with Nexus scale control and a comprehensive Building Management System (BMS) to ensure immediate access to hot water at controlled temperatures.
For Rinnai Ricky Lewis, Associate Director Corporate Sales, said, “We were able to demonstrate that the Rinnai system, which is Hydrogen blends-ready, can yield financial reductions of nearly 20 % of the running cost, over 30 % of the upfront cost, over 15 % in Carbon footprint, over 75% in space, over 85% in weight compared to heated storage systems.”
This modernisation project significantly improved the stadium’s hot water facilities and is backed by Rinnai’s dedicated commissioning service, ensuring long-term efficiency and warranty support.
Multi-tenanted office block, Central London
UKS rapidly addressed an urgent need for hot water in a multi-tenanted Central London office building following a heater failure, installing a Hamworthy Powerstock calorifier to bypass site-specific flue challenges and deliver a cost-effective solution.
The office block’s sole hot water source, an outdated gas-fired water heater, was condemned due to a split heat exchanger. With hot water being critical for hygiene, especially given the importance of handwashing, a quick solution was imperative.
UKS discovered improper flue installation, lack of a flue liner, and the presence of asbestos. Although considering the use of the existing boiler flue header, the setup could not accommodate a new water heater due to height constraints.
To minimise unexpected costs for the client, who didn’t plan to retain the building long-term, UKS chose to connect a Powerstock PS500 calorifier to the well-functioning boilers, addressing hot water needs and flue issues. The calorifier’s dual coils and an additional 9kw immersion heater ensured efficient heating and a backup hot water supply.
UKS and Hamworthy met the project’s tight deadlines, and UKS successfully restored the building’s hot water service promptly, ensuring tenant satisfaction and safety.
Twickenham School Boiler Replacement
A prominent school in Twickenham, accommodating over 1,300 pupils, faced a significant challenge when one of its main boilers failed due to a compromised heat exchanger.
The requirement was to promptly replace the faulty boiler with a reliable, efficient, and suitable unit that could meet the demands of the busy educational establishment.
UKS responded to the call, installing an Ideal Heating Viceroy GTS9 boiler, an apt choice for the school’s needs. The project was supported by Rung Heating Supplies, contributing to the seamless execution of the installation.
The result was a successful boiler replacement, marked by excellent teamwork and resulting in a fully functional heating system and a satisfied customer.
Plantation Place – Burner Upgrade
20 year old Kayanson boiler given a new lease of life
A need arose to replace an outdated and failed Riello burner unit for a client seeking a blend of robustness and operational cost-efficiency.
To install a new, more compact, and energy-efficient burner that could be adapted to the existing boiler setup.
A Weishaupt (UK) Ltd Monarch WM-G20, known for its forced draft efficiency and reliability, was selected to replace the old unit. The installation required a custom machined adaption plate to mount the new burner onto the existing boiler infrastructure.
The Weishaupt burner commenced operation, immediately contributing to cost savings for the client. Its efficiency not only promises reduced energy consumption but also a decrease in operational costs, validating the client’s investment from day one of commissioning.
Royal Hospital Chelsea Hospital Efficient Heating Upgrade
Royal Hospital Chelsea, a historic and prestigious site in London, was facing challenges with its aging heating system. The existing boiler, an Ideal Concord ES200/H, had failed and was beyond repair. The hospital required a reliable and efficient replacement to ensure consistent heating without any points of failure.
Challenges included: The previous single boiler system presented a risk of complete heating failure. The existing pipework was old and could potentially introduce debris into the new system. The installation needed to comply with the hospital’s strict aesthetic and operational policies.
UKS was commissioned to design and implement a modern heating solution. They chose the Worcester Bosch Condens 7000WP boilers for their advanced efficiency and reliability. Two units were installed to eliminate the single point of failure, ensuring continuous operation. A Worcester plate heat exchanger kit was also integrated to protect the new boilers from potential debris. Furthermore, a custom flue system was created and finished in a bespoke black power coating, aligning with the site’s policies and creating a visually appealing result.
The project showcases UKS’s commitment to providing tailored and robust heating solutions for prestigious clients.
Install immersion on Cylinder for hot water solution
A commercial building experienced a critical failure of its boiler system, resulting in a loss of both heating and crucial hot water services, the latter of which was especially problematic for hygiene during a global pandemic.
To address the urgent need for hot water, a rapid and economical solution was implemented. UK South Services Ltd engineered a custom-made access hatch to install a new immersion heater directly into the hot water storage cylinder, bypassing the failed boiler system.
The intervention quickly restored hot water services, ensuring hygiene standards could be maintained. This interim solution provided the client with the necessary time to evaluate long-term heating strategies for the upcoming colder seasons.
Installation of Wessex ModuMax MK3 Boilers at Surrey Sports Training Ground
UK South Services Ltd (UKS) addressed the heating needs of a prominent sports training facility in Surrey, which faced spatial constraints within their plant room.
