A major construction project in South-East London required a temporary boiler hire solution to provide heat-only support while the new plant room systems were undergoing testing and before the mains connections were fully installed. Heating was essential to keep the wider programme on track. Any delay would have risked significant knock-on effects for the project schedule and other contractors working on-site.
Ideal Heat Solutions was tasked with delivering a robust, fully managed hire package that ensured reliable heating was available exactly when needed, with zero disruption to other construction works.
Our approach was systematic, efficient, and tailored to the specific requirements of the site.
Within 24 hours of receiving the enquiry, our engineers conducted a full site survey. This assessment focused on:
By identifying potential challenges early, we designed a solution that would be quick to install and effective in operation.
The following equipment was dispatched promptly:
All equipment was configured before arrival to reduce installation time and keep disruption to a minimum.
Our installation team carefully positioned the boiler within the restricted access area of the site. The PHE and pump were connected directly into the plant room system, and stainless steel hoses were securely fitted.
The unit was pressure tested, commissioned, and fully operational within hours of arriving on site. This meant the construction team could continue testing the new plant room without interruption or delay.
The temporary system delivered consistent heating output throughout the testing period. System performance was stable and monitored closely by our engineers, providing peace of mind that the project would remain on schedule.
Every component was selected for its efficiency, reliability, and compliance with construction safety standards:
The construction site required a temporary solution that would:
We provided a complete heat-only temporary boiler hire package, including a 250kW boiler, 3,000L fuel tank, and plate heat exchanger system. Delivery, installation, and commissioning were all carried out by our in-house team with full compliance and safety oversight.
