We supply, install, commission and test new heat interface units, and replace obsolete or failed units with modern low-return-temperature models, working flat by flat so residents keep heating and hot water.
Every hiu installation & replacement visit is planned around the way your premises actually operates, not a generic checklist. A restaurant with live service, a hotel with constant hot water demand, a school with strict access windows and a landlord-managed plant room all need different planning. We confirm the appliance type, business hours, access restrictions, existing records and any urgent symptoms before attendance so the engineer can focus on safe, efficient work when they arrive. This helps reduce disruption, avoids wasted visits and gives the responsible person clear information about what has been checked, what has been completed and what should happen next.
Our commercial gas engineers look beyond the single appliance and consider the wider installation. That can include visible gas pipework, isolation valves, ventilation, flue routes, control arrangements, labels, previous certification and the practical condition of the area around the equipment. Where servicing or inspection identifies wear, poor access, incomplete records or a potential compliance issue, the engineer explains the finding in plain language. The aim is to help businesses make sensible maintenance decisions before minor issues become breakdowns, failed inspections or operational disruption.
The finished visit gives you usable documentation for your maintenance file, facilities team, landlord, insurer or compliance folder. For planned preventative maintenance, we can align hiu installation & replacement support with annual PPM schedules, tenancy changes, refurbishment works, kitchen upgrades, appliance replacement or certificate renewal dates. For reactive work, we prioritise safe fault diagnosis, practical repair options and next steps that help restore heating, hot water or catering equipment quickly. If remedial work is needed, you receive a clear explanation of the problem, the affected equipment and the recommended route to bring the system back into a safe and reliable condition.
London commercial premises often have layered responsibilities. A restaurant manager may need the kitchen running before service, a landlord may need evidence for a tenant file, a hotel may need uninterrupted hot water, and a facilities manager may need a contractor who can document work consistently across several sites. We plan hiu installation & replacement appointments with those responsibilities in mind, including access timing, isolation requirements, previous engineer notes, appliance data, safety concerns and the urgency of the issue.
Before booking, we help confirm the details that affect the visit: appliance type, site access, symptoms or fault codes, certificate deadlines, previous engineer notes and whether the work is urgent or planned. That gives you a clearer route to a safe visit, practical recommendations and usable documentation for your records.
These closely matched services are often booked alongside hiu installation & replacement for commercial sites that need repairs, servicing, installation work or compliance records.
HIU Installation & Replacement is available across London. Choose your area for local coverage, appointment availability and site-specific guidance.
Dedicated pages for commercial boiler repairs, servicing, installation and air conditioning installation in these areas.
Reactive engineer visits are available when a commercial boiler locks out, a gas water heater stops meeting demand, LPG equipment fails, an appliance needs investigation or a certificate visit identifies urgent remedial work. We focus on safe fault diagnosis, clear communication and practical repair routes so the responsible person understands what can be restored, what needs parts and what must remain isolated until corrected.
Planned preventative maintenance can be scheduled around trading hours, school terms, tenant access or facilities calendars. PPM visits help identify worn components, ventilation concerns, flue issues, poor records and appliance performance problems before they become avoidable breakdowns, failed compliance checks or disruption to heating, hot water and catering operations.
Planned preventative maintenance checks are tailored to the appliance, site risk and service history. These are typical items reviewed during a scheduled hiu installation & replacement visit, with the practical outcome recorded for the responsible person.
Confirms new or altered gas pipework remains accessible, labelled and practical to maintain.
Keeps installation records clear for handover, compliance files and future engineers.
Helps prevent undersized supplies, poor combustion conditions or failed commissioning.
Sets sensible first-service dates and planned preventative maintenance intervals.
Every hiu installation & replacement visit includes clear engineer notes so landlords, facilities teams, insurers and responsible persons can understand what was checked, what was completed and what should happen next.
Site attendance notes can include appliance details, visible condition, fault findings, safety observations, parts advice, photos where useful and recommendations for follow-up work.
Planned preventative maintenance records focus on servicing checks, condition notes, compliance observations, renewal dates and practical maintenance actions to reduce breakdown risk.
Reactive repair documentation explains the reported fault, diagnosis, safety status, urgent remedial work, isolation requirements, parts needed and whether certificates or updated records can be issued.
New heat interface unit installation for new-build blocks, refurbishments and flats being connected to an existing communal or district heating network — pipework tails, isolation and differential pressure control valves, heat meters, controls and commissioning to the network's design temperatures.
Like-for-like and upgrade HIU replacement where units are obsolete, unsupported by parts, repeatedly failing or returning water too hot for the network. Replacement programmes are planned block by block with resident appointment slots and short isolation windows.
Cost depends on the unit type (indirect or direct, with or without an integrated heat meter), whether the existing tails, valves and casing can be reused, access and riser cupboard layout, the number of flats done in one programme, and whether commissioning and balancing of the wider network is required. Call 0208 935 5572 for a surveyed quote.
Portfolio works for landlords, managing agents and property managers: surveys, asset schedules, phased replacement across multiple blocks, resident notification and booking, commissioning records and handover documentation for each flat.
Already know your unit? We also service and repair specific manufacturers — see SAV Systems FlatStation HIU service, Heatweb HIU service, Reliance Valves HIU service and Giacomini HIU service. For breakdowns on any make, our HIU repair page covers fault finding, leaks and emergency cover for blocks.
Arrange a visit when your commercial gas equipment needs inspection, servicing, fault diagnosis, remedial work, installation support or updated records. Early booking is especially useful before certificate deadlines, tenant handovers, insurance checks, seasonal heating demand or planned kitchen and plant room works.
Reactive attendance is suitable when heating, hot water, catering equipment or LPG systems are unreliable, locked out or affecting business operations. Planned maintenance is better when you want to reduce breakdown risk, keep records organised and make compliance easier to manage across one site or several premises.
To help us prepare the right appointment, share your site address, appliance details, photos where available, fault codes, access times and any existing certificate or service history. The engineer can then focus on safe checks, clear findings and the next steps needed to keep your premises operational.
Call or request a booking to discuss hiu installation & replacement for your commercial premises and we will advise on availability, likely visit scope and what documentation can be provided after attendance.
We survey the riser cupboards, existing units, network temperatures and heat metering to specify the right replacement HIU for each flat type.
Works are phased with resident notification and booked slots so each flat is off supply for the shortest possible window.
Units are installed, pressure tested, commissioned to the network design temperatures, balanced and handed over with records for every flat.
Yes. We arrange reactive hiu installation & replacement attendance for London commercial premises where equipment has locked out, stopped operating or needs urgent investigation. The engineer focuses on safe diagnosis, records the fault and explains whether repair, parts, isolation or follow-up work is required.
If heating, hot water or catering equipment has failed, stop using any unsafe appliance, keep access clear and contact us with the site address, appliance details, fault codes and photos where possible. We use that information to plan the right reactive engineer visit and reduce wasted attendance.
Where parts, access and safety conditions allow, urgent remedial work can often be quoted or arranged after the initial inspection. If the issue cannot be completed immediately, the engineer provides clear notes explaining what has failed, what must remain isolated and what is needed to return the system to service.
Same-day and next-day reactive appointments are available where diary capacity allows. Turnaround depends on location, appliance type, fault complexity, access, parts availability and whether the work requires testing, commissioning or updated compliance records before the equipment can be used again.
It depends on the unit specification, whether existing tails, valves and casings are reusable, riser access and how many flats are replaced in one programme. We quote after a survey — call 0208 935 5572.
A straightforward like-for-like replacement is usually a half-day per flat, including isolation, installation, commissioning and handover, so residents are rarely without heating or hot water for a full day.
Yes. We run phased programmes for landlords, managing agents and property managers with asset schedules, resident notification, booked slots and commissioning records for each flat.
If parts are still available and the plate heat exchanger is sound, repair is normally the better value option. Replacement makes sense for obsolete units, repeat failures or where the network needs lower return temperatures.
