Condensing boiler in cellar and chimney liner

Over to the picturesque Sussex town of Horsham, where we have a beautiful listed residence in the protected heritage quarter of the town. British Gas condemned the old floorstanding Potterton boiler in the cellar, and they and other contractors suggested that the only solution was the relocation of a new boiler at the other end of the house, involving unsightly pipework throughout. The existing defunct boiler was flued up a very old chimney weaving through 3 floors; we suggested fitting a new Viessmann Compact 26Kw boiler in the cellar.  The existing system was very old, the cylinder was around 60 […]

Kent Church has a new condensing boiler

Our photo shows Dan in contemplation, in the graveyard of St John the Evangelist, in Hildenborough, Kent.  Actually, he’s assisting in a purging operation at the gas meter box. This church, constructed over 100 years ago, was heated by an old 86kW Ideal Buccaneer commercial boiler.  The boiler had a reputation for breaking down in the hour of need (eg: coldest days of winter) and the management team had found the only way to minimise the chances of failure was to have the boiler on in periods of the summer. The heating was controlled by a bewildering set of high/low […]

Large Viessmann and underfloor heating in Woldingham

This customer was having a large extension fitted on the rear of the property, in the form of a wooden Amdega conservatory. We suggested that water based underfloor heating would be far cheaper to run, and more effective than the electric matting recommended by the conservatory builder. The old 50Kw Potterton commercial boiler was removed and replaced with a top quality Viessmann 300 49Kw system boiler with KM bus varispeed pump. The house suffered from inadequate heating in the triple aspect bedroom and lounge, and also the large number of rooms meant that heat was being wasted during the day when […]

Baby Viessmann in Smallfield

Our customer had a modest semi detached property in Smallfield, (near Crawley). The old floorstanding boiler was removed from the hearth in the kitchen, and a Viessmann 100W Compact heat-only condensing boiler was located some distance away in the garage. A vertical flue was fitted in the garage roof by our professional roofing contractor. The Viessmann was supplied and fitted by HWCH with our normal 5 year parts and labour warranty.

Martin, Kent 25/04/2017

Truly excellent, as much technically as aesthetic: clean, prompt, going well beyond expectations.

Nicholas, Kent 14/04/2017

Commercial plumbing

A small to medium sized company capable of installing & maintaining a highly technical modernisation of our heating & h/w systems. The planning, execution & result was truly ‘excellent’.

A J, Surrey 04/04/2017

Very knowledgeable

We needed a replacement boiler & Simon talked us through the options, which manufacturer & what size to go for & saw through the installation, not leaving until he was satisfied that all was in order. All in all very, competent and professional.

Stephen, Kent 16/02/2017

Highly recommended

Not the cheapest but very knowledgeable which gave me confidence that the job would be well done and correctly done. I was not disappointed.

Geoffrey, Kent 06/02/2017

Good standard of work with an ongoing commitment to customer satisfaction

This firm installed a 12 zone Honeywell Evohome central heating and hot water control system for us in October 2014. The quotation was clear and detailed, and the price reasonable. The installation work was personally overseen by the boss, Simon, who also set the rather complex (but powerful) wireless control system to work and gave clear advice on how to get the best from it. He had in-depth knowledge and experience of the control system that is probably second to none. The firm also installed and connected to our boiler a plinth fan heater nicely hidden under a kitchen cupboard Read more…

Peter, Surrey 24/05/2016

Smart solution, neatly implemented

Great technical solution to the tricky replacement of a 1980’s warm air unit. Starting with a clear and comprehensive quotation. Careful and tidy installation with minimal disruption. Excellent communication throughout the work.

Martin, Surrey 21/03/2016

Clean + tidy

HWCH installed our boiler a few years ago and have looked after it ever since so I was happy to leave them in the house unaccompanied. We came home to find the installation complete and no mess or trace they had been.

Bryan, London 15/12/2015

Prompt and efficient. Very professional.

My son recommended this firm as I was very apprehensive about having a new boiler. Mr Davies was very clean and helpful and explained everything. The two men who did must of the work were efficient, polite , clean and considerate to me . As far as I can tell I have an efficient job carried out in one long day which helped me.

Jean, Surrey 19/11/2015

Very good job – as always

We have used the company for many years for 2 rental properties & our family home. We cannot fault them.

HW and CH knowledgeable, friendly and efficient company we would certainly recommend them.

John, Kent 01/06/2015

Reliable & professional company

Hot Water & Central Heating responded very promptly & installed a new boiler in a quite awkward location. Very helpful

Jerry, London 27/05/2015

Professional & efficient

I have known HW & CH for several years. They installed two large boilers in a church and hall and maintain them annually. I gave recently used them at my home where they did a very clean, neat and efficient job. Supplied excellent product and were very professional.

David, Kent 16/01/2015

Diligent & Efficient

Simon of HWCH takes his job very seriously but is a pleasure to deal with. He assessed our (complicated) situation carefully, recommended the right solution and carried it out promptly and efficiently.

Jay, London 15/01/2015

Expert & professional installation

An intimate knowledge of a rather complex Honeywell Evohome heating control product, combined with an excellent installation crew on the day resulted in a very satisfactory installation. Some tricky rerouting of underfloor pipework was accomplished without fuss, mess or extra charge, highly recommended.

Richard, East Sussex 04/07/2014

Very impressed

Very impressed with work rate and efficiency. Would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Neville, West Sussex 16/03/2014
