As London and the South East's largest privately owned heating contractor, United House provides a range of H&V services to local authorities and housing associations, ranging from district heating schemes to multiple domestic heating installations.

 

 

 

In a majority of cases the programme requires installation into occupied dwellings and the Company has earned a reputation for minimising disruption to residents. A combination of efficient project management, quality of installation and good liaison with residents in occupation ensures that residents and local authorities are always pleased with the results.

Over the last two years, United House has been appointed to install over 10,000 central heating systems - and laid enough central heating pipes to go to the moon and back!
