We were asked by Surbiton school for girls to design a new commercial boiler Installation for their science block.
This job wasn’t without its challenges!
The main one being, how on earth do you get a person in such a tight space to remove the decrepit boiler in the first place?!
With a lot of blood sweat and tears that’s how.
Ben managed to wedge him self into the plant room and break down the existing floor standing commercial boiler into sections.
and remove in manageable pieces.
We then used a Vaillant Ecotec 120KW in conjunction with a high performance plate heat exchanger and trusted Grundfos Magna pumps for circulation.
The plate heat exchanger prevents any debris from the aging radiator system entering the boiler circuit.
This is a configuration we use regularly for our church and school work and provides the client with reliability and longevity of the new boilers.
Upgrading to a condensing boiler system along with up to date controls in a commercial premises
pays for its self very quickly!
The gas saving is nearly always 30 percent or more and the environmental impact from the exhaust emissions is also night and day from a 30 year old boiler to a modern condensing boiler.
Its not just about the way a boiler burns gas, new ERP boilers also save you money by only using the exact amount of gas required at any one time by carefully monitoring the demand.
The burner cycle can also held off with up to date weather compensation controllers.
These stop the boiler coming on as much or at all if the weather outside is warmer than usual for the time of year.
I could ramble on about this all day, but in short if you are in charge of a commercial building and are looking to cut your gas consumption please call us.
I would be happy to carry out a free survey of your current commercial boiler Installation and provide you with a system design tailored to suit the type of building and your business needs.

Is The Nest IQ Camera For Me?
/in Latest News /by Cloverleaf PlumbingThe answer really depends on possible siting opportunities.
The Nest IQ camera works best if it’s mounted facing people walking towards your property.
The facial recognition function learns quicker if the camera can zoom onto faces front on.
Once it has recognized certain family members you can turn off the notifications and only have unfamiliar faces sending you alerts.
The key thing about the installation?
Having the power supply in close proximity to where the camera is ideally positioned.
When pricing to install Nest IQ cameras I do often find a socket close by.
However, getting the cable neat without the use of something to disguise it is more challenging.

Boiler Plus Legislation: New standards for domestic boiler installations
/in Latest News /by Cloverleaf PlumbingFrom 6th April 2018 the legislation around heating manufacture and installation in the UK is changing, and there are some big changes.
These changes have been named Boiler Plus and are being introduced by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). They address the energy efficiency of heating systems and have raised the bar for both manufacturers and installers.
The most notable change applies to the minimum performance standard for domestic gas boilers in England. The minimum efficiency level of all boilers manufactured and installed will be set ar 92% ErP. The main motivation behind the change is to phase out inefficient boilers and reduce carbon emissions in line with targets set by the EU. It forms just part of a wider plan known as the Government’s Clean Growth Strategy which aims to combat climate change and provide UK homes with greater comfort and lower energy bills.
What will happen to homeowners and installers who do not comply?
Installers who fail to install boilers in line with these new Building Regulations will be breaking the law and could be prosecuted by Building Control. The Gas Safe Register can also refer safety concerns to the HSE (Health and Safety Executive). Invoicing a customer for work which they claim to be legal but is not is also to be considered fraudulent under Trading Standards.
Homeowners who knowingly allow non-compliant work to be carried out could also face prosecution and fines of up to £5,000.
What is FGHR? A Flue Gas Heat Recovery (FGHR) is a device designed to improve energy efficiency of the boiler by recycling the heat from the flue gases which would usually be lost into the atmosphere. Instead this heat is used it to preheat domestic hot water.
What is weather compensation? Weather compensation devices enable the boiler to read the outside temperature via a sensor so that the boiler can adjust the temperature of your heating accordingly.
What is load compensation? Load compensation measures the response of the heating system and adjusts the flow temperature based on what is needed to reduce fuel consumption.
Why are these changes being introduced?
This legislation is designed to help the UK meet the targets by 2020. More than £2.5 billion of Government funding was designated towards lowering carbon emissions for the period 2015 – 2021.
Greg Clark, Business and Energy Secretary, said:
“This Government has put clean growth at the heart of its Industrial Strategy to increase productivity, boost people’s earning power and ensure Britain continues to lead the world in efforts to tackle climate change.
“For the first time in a generation, the British government is leading the way on taking decisions on new nuclear, rolling out smart meters and investing in low carbon innovation. The world is moving from being powered by polluting fossil fuels to clean energy. It’s as big a change as the move from the age of steam to the age of oil and Britain is showing the way.”
Some of the measures taken include:

Bathroom Refurbishment Bexley
/in Latest News /by Cloverleaf PlumbingWe recently completed a full bathroom refurbishment in Bexley.
We are very pleased to say the customers are very happy with the end result and have already recommended us to friends.
BEFORE- Bathroom refurbishment Bexley
The knock through
We are regularly asked the question, do we keep the separate toilet and bathroom or knock into one room?
Each to their own is the answer and completely dependent on your family set up and whether the dimensions of the room will allow you to maximise the extra space generated by knocking the partition down.
Knocking it though as we did on this job does open the whole room up to the possibility of bath and separate shower enclosure, which is lovely to have.
The only compromise is waiting for someone to get out of the shower when you need a pee!
This is not the first time we’ve carried out a bathroom refurbishment in Bexley village where we knock the toilet into one room.
We have also done it many times in Bromley, Sidcup and Dartford.
Vario Pro under floor heating
Personally i think this job is a great example of how you can do the knock through, fit separate bath and shower in without making the room look over crowded.
In this case the customer had plenty of input with tile choice and layout.
We just use your ideas and point you in the right direction to ensure your ideas will work on a practical level before diving in.
At the planning stage we can give you as little or as much help as you require with bathroom design.
Either Jon or Steve, will take responsibility for the smooth running of your bathroom project along side our friendly Cloverleaf office staff.
Give us a try, you wont be disappointed.
AFTER – Bathroom Refurbishment Bexley.
