Serving Kensington's grand townhouses and garden squares, Heat-Plex delivers expert boiler installation, central heating repairs, and gas safety services. Our Gas Safe engineers understand the specific requirements of W8 and W14 properties.
Kensington includes Holland Park, Edwardes Square and Phillimore Gardens in W8. The wider W14 area stretches towards Olympia and Brook Green. The properties here are among the grandest in the capital: tall stucco-fronted townhouses, many converted into multiple flats, alongside substantial mansion blocks and a handful of modern infill developments.
Heating systems in Kensington's large townhouses require specialist planning and installation. A five-storey house on a street like Campden Hill Road or Stafford Terrace may need a commercial-grade boiler or multiple boilers to supply enough heat and hot water to every floor. Heat-Plex designs and installs multi-zone heating systems for these properties, using programmable zone valves and smart thermostats so residents can control individual floors or rooms independently. We also install pressurised unvented cylinders in basement plant rooms, providing mains-pressure hot water to bathrooms on every level.
For Kensington's mansion blocks (Iverna Court, Kensington Court, and the blocks along Kensington High Street) we carry out individual flat boiler replacements, working within the constraints of shared flue systems and building management requirements. Our engineers follow each building’s rules for access, noise and working hours. We arrange work with porters and managing agents to reduce disruption to residents.
The W14 area around Olympia and the residential streets between Hammersmith Road and Holland Road features more modest Victorian terraces alongside larger Edwardian houses. Here we provide the full range of domestic heating services, from straightforward boiler swaps to complete system overhauls. Whether your Kensington property is a grand garden square townhouse or a compact flat in a purpose-built block, Heat-Plex delivers expert service with clear pricing and a twelve-month workmanship guarantee.
Kensington has tall townhouses around Holland Park and Phillimore Gardens, and mansion blocks along the High Street. It also has converted flats and Victorian terraces near Olympia in W14. Many properties are listed or sit within the Kensington Conservation Area.
Large multi-storey townhouses in Kensington often need oversized or dual boiler installations to heat every floor adequately. The height of these properties means significant pressure differentials between basement plant rooms and top-floor bathrooms. Mansion blocks frequently have ageing communal risers and shared flue systems that constrain individual flat upgrades.

They fitted two linked boilers in the basement, ran new pipework through all floors without damaging the original plasterwork, and set up zone controls for each level.
