Technical Expertise in Prime London Homes

Luxury Residential Case Studies

In-depth documentation of high-end plumbing and heating installations completed by RARE across London's finest homes — from Grade II listed mansion flats to six-storey Belgravia townhouses. Each project demonstrates the technical expertise, discretion and attention to finish that prime London properties demand.

RARE Plumbing London has completed over 200 high-end residential plumbing and heating installations across prime Central London postcodes since 2013. The case studies below document real projects in Mayfair, Belgravia, Knightsbridge, Hampstead, Marylebone and Notting Hill — covering premium boiler specification, multi-zone smart control integration, wet underfloor heating design, discreet leak detection and full central heating system replacements in Grade II listed and architect-led refurbishment projects.

What sets these projects apart

Technical expertise for demanding properties.

Premium Boiler Specification

ATAG, Viessmann, Vaillant and Worcester Bosch selected by heat loss calculation and noise performance — not catalogue defaults.

Smart Control Integration

Heatmiser NeoHub 2 systems with per-room zoning, floor sensing and multi-device access for complex multi-zone properties.

Underfloor Heating Design

Low-profile overlay systems, manifold specification and integration with existing boilers — designed at architect stage.

Discreet Leak Detection

Acoustic detection equipment pinpoints concealed leaks beneath screed and tile — minimal disruption to high-end finishes.
