CASE STUDIES
We are proud of the work we do and here are a few of our proudest moments.
Boiler Replacement at BAE Portsmouth Dockyard
Limburn completed the replacement of end-of-life boilers at the BAE Portsmouth Dockyard, ensuring efficient heating and domestic hot water systems while respecting the heritage status of the buildings. The project was delivered on time and within budget, meeting the client’s high standards.
Limburn was tasked with replacing old boilers in the Barham and Mary Rose buildings at the BAE Portsmouth Dockyard. The project involved installing three Vaillant boilers in a cascade system, along with a plate heat exchanger for hydraulic separation of the primary and secondary systems. A stokvis buffer was also installed to manage domestic hot water services. The team worked within the constraints of the heritage buildings, utilising a condensing chimney liner for the Vaillant flue header to avoid exterior wall alterations. Despite a tight timeline, Limburn delivered the project on time and within the £41,000 budget, ensuring minimal disruption to the dockyard operations.
The Brief
BAE Portsmouth Dockyard commissioned Limburn Industrial & Heating Services to replace aging boilers in two key buildings: Barham and Mary Rose. The scope included installing a cascade of three Vaillant boilers, ensuring efficient heating and domestic hot water services while respecting the heritage restrictions of the site.
The Challenge
The primary challenges were working within the heritage constraints of the buildings, which prohibited any alterations to the external walls, and managing the installation within a tight timeline. Additionally, ensuring minimal disruption to the dockyard’s operations was critical.
The Solution
Limburn installed a cascade of three Vaillant boilers with a condensing chimney liner to meet the site’s heritage requirements. The team managed the project efficiently, utilising hydraulic separation of the systems and installing a stokvis buffer for domestic hot water services. Limburn completed the project on time, meeting the client’s tight deadlines.

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.
