As the country’s leading specialist boiler hire supplier, our team is always prepared to respond to emergencies – especially when they relate to the hot water and heating needs of businesses nationwide.
On a cold Thursday afternoon, our dedicated contact centre received an enquiry after the district mains system split at a hospital in Bath. As a result, the entire ward had no heating, and it was getting colder and colder by the hour.
Hospitals are among the most temperature-sensitive environments in the UK. Heating and hot water are not luxuries: they are operational necessities that directly impact patient safety, infection control, and regulatory compliance.
If heating fails, the consequences escalate quickly:
- Patient comfort deteriorates
- Infection risks increase
- Surgeries may be postponed
- Wards risk temporary closure
- Reputational damage becomes a real concern
Why Healthcare Can’t Afford Delays
We understand that some industries – such as healthcare – are particularly vulnerable when unexpected breakdowns occur. That’s why our staff are trained to help customers overcome challenging situations as and when they arrive. This conscientiousness and attention to detail is what underpins the high level of service we provide, and the very reason we are first choice for many facilities management companies.
Healthcare environments are different. They are live, high-pressure, and continuously occupied. Access must be managed. Safety procedures must be followed without exception.
And all the while, patients remain inside.
This was not the first time rapid intervention has protected a healthcare facility from disruption.
Previous deployments and proven experience had demonstrated how critical temporary systems can prevent ward closures, maintain sanitation, and safeguard vulnerable patients when permanent infrastructure fails.

The ability to scale rapidly allows our engineers to match capacity precisely to site demand. In healthcare environments, modular deployment also enables redundancy, ensuring uninterrupted service even during peak load periods
The Rapid Response
But back to the project in hand!
Within 45 minutes of the initial call, one of our territory sales managers arrived at the hospital to conduct a free site survey. An appropriate course of action was devised and agreed with the client, preceding the delivery of a temporary boiler hire package.
By the following morning, two 300kW units were installed and operational – restoring critical heating and hot water amenities during a bitterly cold period. With temperature issues eradicated and peace of mind restored, there was just one thing left: for the customer to express their gratitude and relief!
Our engineers completed:
- Delivery and positioning
- Secure system connection
- Flue routing
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Performance testing
The result was a seamless transition back to normal operating temperatures.
In a follow-up consultation, our contact at the hospital declared they were “over the moon” with the solution provided by Andrews Boilers.
High praise indeed!
