Tiger inn, Knaresborough - July 2022
In 2022, our team was approached by Keystone Constructions to replace their existing heating system at the Tiger Inn at Knaresborough. The pub/restaurant was recently burned down due to an accident. Our team was happy to supply their services to get the pub back up and running!
Over the next few months, our team was proudly installing a brand new heating system. As previously the heating system had been run from an oil boiler, and the tenants wanted to convert to LPG which meant replacing the old oil system with a brand-new LPG system.
This meant our team had to replace the oil pipes to convert an entire heating system over to LPG before their open date in October. From the picture you can see, our team successfully installed two Worcester Bosch boilers on time and before their opening!
Thorpe Hesley – Complete Heating System Upgrade - February 2017
At this private residence located in Thorpe Hesley, Rotherham the clients were looking to make improvements to their existing electric heating system with the aim of improving efficiency and increasing comfort levels.
After an initial site visit we began the design and specification process. We determined that the most efficient solution was to install an LPG fired Worcester-Bosch boiler. An LPG tank was already installed within the garden of the property and had been used to fuel the cooker. New radiators were installed on the first floor.
On the ground floor in the living area we installed an underfloor heating system complete with floor screed. Because underfloor heating was specified, this allowed the homeowners complete design freedom when it came to locating furniture within the room. Underfloor heating is installed across the whole floor which ensures a consistent and ambient heat is produced throughout the entire room.
We also specified and installed an unvented solar hot water cylinder. This new cylinder was coupled into the existing solar thermal hot water system.
Harley Road, Rotherham – Installation of Solar Thermal Panel
Client wanted to utilise a south facing roof to install solar thermal panels with the aim of lowering their expensive gas bill when heating their indoor pool.
By utilising solar thermal panels to supplement the existing gas boiler to generating heat that was used to heat domestic hot water.
3 evacuated tube panels were installed on a tiled roof. Each panel consisted of 25 tubes which linked together into a unvented solar thermal cylinder.
The installation was completed with the use of a specialist solar control panel and pump station
The Windmill, Doncaster. Underfloor Heating Case Study - December 2016
The Windmill, located in Campsall Doncaster, was converted into a domestic property in the seventies. The current owners contacted us to design, specify and install a new heating system featuring underfloor heating.
We decided the best solution for The Windmill was to install Polypipe’s Overlay™ system which is an ideal solution for retrospective installations and renovations because it can be laid on top of existing floors. Because Polypipe’s Overlay™ system is only 18mm in depth, it does not raise the floor to an unacceptable level.
The unusual layout of The Windmill meant that the system had to be installed in a circular living space over an area of 38.5m². Installation was tricky in such an unusual shaped room but was made easier by the professional design service undertaken by both Bumford’s engineers and assistance from Polypipe’s dedicated design technicians who helped generate a pipe layout and room design solution.…Because underfloor heating was specified, this allowed the homeowners complete design freedom when it came to locating furniture within the room. Because the room was completely round, it would have been impossible to install radiators to fit the curved walls.
The windmill’s internal structure is like a long upright tunnel. It was therefore important that the heating was effective and designed well to make best use of the space. Traditional radiators heat rises along the walls, leaving the middle of a room cold. Underfloor heating is installed across the whole floor which ensures a consistent and ambient heat is produced throughout the entire room.
The homeowners chose to install Polypipe’s newest generation of controls, selecting the Smart Plus touchscreen thermostat. Bumford’s install a wide range of smart control systems which enable the homeowner greater access to control their heating enabling better use of energy. Polypipe’s Smart Plus are no different allowing a seamless operation in conjunction with the heating system and also allowing optimum control with both the in house thermostat or mobile devices when out and about.

Wentworth Woodhouse, Rotherham Heating Upgrade
Wentworth Woodhouse is the largest house in Europe. Bumford Heating was invited to determine if the existing old heating system could be altered and zoned. After spending days crawling through tunnels, lofts and cellars and studying Victorian heating system blueprints and drawings, Bumford’s engineers gained enough information to allow them to design a system. A number of small plant rooms, each containing 3 or 4 boilers were linked into the existing system and that part of the system was then isolated from the older system, thus the new boilers and control systems, some extra radiators and alterations, allowed a section of the house to have a modern and efficient heating system. This process was repeated a number of times until 28 boilers had been installed.
The works all had to be agreed with English Heritage in this grade 1 listed building, a particular concern of English Heritage was flue positions, none of the flues, including the large chimney flue from the boilers that heat the main State Rooms, can be seen from any major rooms in the house or from any outside vantage point, this was successfully achieved.
