CASE STUDIES
We are proud of the work we do and here are a few of our proudest moments.
Agnew Family Centre – Kier Services
Limburn partnered with Kier Services to transform Agnew House from sheltered housing for the elderly into a facility for homeless families. The project included extensive mechanical works, delivering new heating, water, and drainage systems for 55 new accommodation units, within a tight timescale.
The project involved the conversion of 38 flats for the elderly into 55 accommodation units of varying sizes at Agnew House, providing essential housing for homeless families. Limburn installed new plant systems, including tanks, booster sets, and strategically located plate heat exchangers for the domestic water systems. Although initially unplanned, the replacement of the LTHW (Low-Temperature Hot Water) heating system became necessary as the project progressed. Above-ground drainage systems were also installed, ensuring the building was fully equipped for its new purpose. Working closely with the architects to ensure each unit was fitted with its own WC and bathroom, alongside 13 communal kitchens and laundry rooms.
The Brief
Kier contracted Limburn to assist in converting Agnew House into a family centre for homeless families. The scope of works involved stripping the old systems and installing new heating, domestic water, and drainage systems for the new accommodation units.
The Challenge
Limburn was brought on at the eleventh hour and needed to quickly mobilise to begin the mechanical works. The project took several unexpected turns, including the replacement of the LTHW heating system, which added complexity to the project.
The Solution
Limburn efficiently installed new plant systems, domestic water systems with strategically located heat exchangers, and above-ground drainage. Despite the challenges, we worked closely with the architects to meet the evolving needs of the project, delivering a comprehensive solution.

Wonderful Service
Please thank Alan and the Team for carrying out the new Heating Installation over the last few weeks.
The building is definitely not a “normal” building, and the guys have equipped themselves exceptionally well, and I have had some very good feedback from the teams. We had received some great comments regarding site Security/Access. This was very well received and complements the tight Security measures which have been recently introduced.

Very swift response
Could you pass on the thanks for the 50 young people and my site crew for the very swift response to our boiler issue on site. The kids got to go rafting and have showers afterwards.
We’d like you to take on the servicing of all out kit on site, with the professional skills the team have displayed this would be great for us.

I would not hesitate to work with Limburns again
Limburns are a non confrontational contractor that put their energy into adding value to projects. They worked tirelessly to deliver the projects to a set time frame and budget, their staff are very experienced bringing knowledge and expertise to the team. Even at difficult times during the projects Limburns continued to work with the team going over and above what was expected of them.
Working in an open book contract you can see where all the costs are – Limburns only charged for their actual costs and nominal prelims, overheads and profit. The PHE appointed Quantity Surveyor ratified all their costs and demonstrated that the projects delivered value for money.
I would not hesitate to work with Limburns again – overall they work hard, deliver and are value for money.
