Keeping Fonthill Abbey Estate Warm

Written by

We’re at the beautiful Fonthill Abbey Estate for the next few days, doing what we do best.

Steeped in history, this vast 9000-acre estate features many listed properties, one of which we are privileged to be involved in the design & installation of underfloor heating.

As with all listed properties, the design and installation is not straightforward due to the protected nature of the building, however, our team of experts have designed a system that involves multiple floor systems that will blend the historic nature of the building with modern heating technology of today.

We have vast experience installing modern heating systems into listed and heritage buildings. View our case studies for just a few examples of projects we have completed.
