A major construction project in North-West London required a temporary boiler hire solution to provide heat while plant room systems were tested and mains connections were still pending. With strict timelines to keep, it was essential that the heating system was live quickly so the wider build schedule wasn’t delayed.
Ideal Heat Solutions was brought in to deliver a high-performance, fully managed boiler hire package — ensuring reliable heat supply for testing without disruption to ongoing construction works.
We acted quickly and methodically to design and deliver the right solution.
Our engineers visited site the day after the initial enquiry to assess:
– Restricted access routes and plant positioning.
– Heat-only requirements for the plant room system.
– Connection points and infrastructure for safe integration.
The survey allowed us to recommend the most effective package with minimal disruption.
Within days, we dispatched and delivered:
– 250kW Oil-Fired Boiler – Providing consistent heat output.
– 3000L Fuel Tank – Ensuring uninterrupted supply.
– Heat-Only Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) & Pump – Enabling seamless integration with the system.
– Stainless Steel Braided Pipework – Leak-free, robust, and quick to connect.
Our installation team landed the boiler in the designated area, connected the PHE and pump to the system, and ran pipework securely into the plant room. The unit was pressure-tested, commissioned, and ready for use within hours.
The temporary boiler delivered the required heating output, supporting the construction programme and enabling plant room testing to proceed on schedule.
All equipment was chosen to deliver efficiency, safety, and reliability:
– 250kW Oil Boiler – Reliable, high-capacity unit.
– 3000L Fuel Tank – Fully bunded for safety and compliance.
– HTG Plate Heat Exchanger & Pump – Ensuring safe and efficient heat transfer.
– Stainless Steel Braided Hoses – For durable, flexible connections.
The client needed a fast, reliable heat-only solution that would:
– Deliver heating during plant room testing.
– Be installed with minimal disruption to other contractors.
– Fit into a construction site with restricted access and a tight deadline.
We provided a complete temporary boiler hire package including a 250kW boiler, fuel tank, and PHE system, connected safely into the plant room. Our team managed delivery, installation, and commissioning with speed and precision.
The outcome was a seamless, reliable heating solution:
– Zero downtime – Plant testing continued without delays.
– Fast deployment – From survey to commissioning in less than a week.
– Client satisfaction – Praised the efficiency of our operations team.
– Flexible integration – Equipment adapted perfectly to the construction environment.
– Extensive experience in temporary boiler hire for construction projects.
– Modern fleet including packaged, slimline, and electric boilers.
– Full range of ancillaries such as PHEs, pumps, tanks, and stainless steel hoses.
– 24/7 support with fast mobilisation.
– Engineers trained to work on live construction sites.
For construction projects, delays caused by heating and hot water downtime can have a knock-on effect on the entire build schedule. By installing a 250kW boiler hire package, Ideal Heat Solutions ensured this North-West London site stayed on track — with reliable heating provided safely, quickly, and with zero disruption.
