Andrews provide replacement boiler following breakdown

Posted Date 29/09/2016

In an attempt to accommodate ever-increasing demand for affordable housing in East London, several local authorities ordered the construction of extra properties in its surrounding areas. However, problems arose when the newly-built houses were added to a district heating system that was already operating close to capacity.

The circuit had been overexerted for several months and as a consequence, three separate 100kW modules broke down under the strain. It was therefore imperative that these were taken offline for servicing and replaced by an adequate alternative.

Historic bathroom retailer requires urgent boiler replacement

Posted Date 10/09/2015

When one of the UK’s oldest bath manufacturers underwent a major site revamp, a serious construction error left premises without hot water and heating. It was intended for parts of the factory deemed surplus to requirements to be carefully demolished, but workmen on the site inadvertently cut through a gas main while carrying out this process.

Although our client was downsizing on a fairly significant scale, there were still several people based in the building who were dependent on this basic facility being provided. At this juncture, Andrews Boilers were contacted with a solution desired as quickly as one could feasibly be installed.

Underfloor heating easily installed thanks to Andrews Boiler Hire

Working with concrete flooring on site can be quite a challenge, so when a large construction company contacted Andrews Boiler Hire we were more than happy to help. The company were placing underfloor heating in a residential building as their primary source of heating. The pipe work and screed had been laid, the problem was the fixed boiler plant that hadn’t yet been installed. Also the floor screed contained excess moisture which prevented it setting within time. There were strict deadlines to meet when working with this client as the building had to be handed over. We supplied six 22kW Electric Boilers alongside temporary pipework, a booster pump and heat exchanger. At this point we attached them to the existing manifolds linked to the permanent underfloor heating and pipework. The 22kw boiler delivers large volumes of hot water on demand: for indoor and outdoor locations.

Concrete batching is a process that combines various ingredients to form concrete. As this process usually takes place on a large open site, freezing weather conditions can dramatically affect the batching process. Low temperatures can cause quality issues with the process water that is added to the ready mixed concrete. Therefore Andrews Boiler Hire were contacted to provide a solution. It was decided that a 100kW packaged boiler would be delivered onto the site for an 8 week period, until the cold spell was over.

One of West Yorkshire’s largest teaching hospitals had plans of building a three-storey building extension in order to accommodate new paediatric and geriatric units. Two well-known construction companies were subsequently drafted in to complete the project.

The Bradford Royal Infirmary is among the top ten ranking teaching hospitals and at the forefront of research and education in healthcare. As such, a large number of individuals were relying on the swift conclusion of a multi-million-pound development.
