Keep your home warm and your energy bills low with a bespoke heating system designed for London living.
Is your current heating system struggling to cope with the British winter? Are cold spots, noisy pipes, and sky-high energy bills becoming the norm?
A new central heating system is one of the most significant investments you will make in your property. It’s not just about hanging a new boiler on the wall; it’s about creating an integrated ecosystem that heats your home efficiently and reliably for decades.
At Osborne Plumbing and Heating Services, we specialise in designing and installing high-performance central heating systems tailored to the unique demands of London’s varied housing stock—from draughty Victorian terraces to modern apartments.
More Than Just a Boiler Swap: A Bespoke Approach
Many heating companies simply replace like-for-like. We don’t work that way.
We understand that a powerful new boiler will underperform if connected to undersized radiators or outdated pipework. Our goal is to provide a “whole-house solution” that delivers maximum comfort for minimum energy usage.
Our Comprehensive Installation Service Includes:
- Full System Design: We don’t guess. We perform full heat loss calculations on your property to ensure every room gets the exact heat output (BTUs) it needs.
- High-Efficiency Boilers: We supply and install leading A-rated condensing boilers (Combi, System, and Regular) from trusted brands like Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, and Viessmann.
- Radiator Upgrades: Replacing tired, sludge-filled radiators with modern, high-output convection radiators or sleek designer options.
- Smart Controls: Integrating intelligent thermostats like Nest, Hive, or Honeywell Evohome, giving you control over your heating from your phone, wherever you are in London.
- Pipework & Cylinders: Upgrading pipework where necessary and installing modern, high-pressure unvented hot water cylinders for superior shower performance.
The Installation Process: What to Expect
We know that having major work done in your home can be stressful. Our process is designed to be transparent, efficient, and respectful of your property.
Step 1: The Consultation & Survey
One of our senior heating engineers (not a salesperson) will visit your London property. They will assess your current setup, discuss your hot water usage, listen to your heating problems, and measure up your rooms.
Step 2: Bespoke Design & Fixed Quote
We go away and design a system tailored to your needs. You will receive a detailed, transparent quote outlining exactly what we propose, with no hidden costs.
Step 3: The Installation
Our Gas Safe registered team arrives on time and protects your carpets and surfaces. We work efficiently to remove the old system and install the new one, keeping you updated throughout. We aim to restore heat and hot water by the end of each day whenever possible.
Step 4: Handover & Aftercare
We don’t just leave. We powerflush the new system to protect it, balance the radiators for even heat distribution, and spend time showing you how to use your new controls. We also register your boiler warranty with the manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a full central heating installation take?
A typical installation (replacing a boiler and several radiators) usually takes between 3 to 5 days, depending on the complexity of the pipework and the size of the property.
Will there be a lot of mess?
Installing pipework and lifting floorboards does create some dust. However, we use dust sheets extensively, protect flooring, and tidy up at the end of every working day. We treat your home with respect.
Should I switch from a regular boiler to a combi boiler?
Many London flats switch to combi boilers to free up space taken by hot water cylinders. However, for larger homes with multiple bathrooms used simultaneously, a system boiler with an unvented cylinder is often the better option for water pressure. We will advise on the best setup during the survey.
Can you upgrade my system to work with a future heat pump?
Yes. We can design “heat pump ready” systems by installing larger radiators and pipework now, making a future switch to renewables much easier and cheaper. (See our [Boiler Upgrade Scheme Guide] for more on heat pumps).
