Plant Room Upgrade for Lord Wandsworth College

North Hampshire

A fast response to an emergency leads to a full heating system upgrade at a North Hampshire boarding school 

  • School & Sports Venue
  • Renovation
  • Gas
Lord Wandsworth College, a historic boarding school in North Hampshire, required an urgent upgrade for its ageing heating system after experiencing a significant plant room failure during the winter break. The college, alongside Cooper Weston Group made the decision to replace their two 1950s converted coal boilers, and bring the heating system up to modern standards, with performance, energy efficiency and reliability all key priorities.

The Hoval Solution

To deliver a high-performing, future-ready system, they selected two Hoval UltraGas 2 300kW gas condensing boilers as part of a full plant room upgrade. 

The UltraGas 2 range was chosen for its excellent efficiency, robust design and suitability for schools and large buildings where consistent and reliable heating is essential. Working to a tight deadline during the Easter break, the installation was completed in just four weeks ensuring a new system was up and running in time for the return of boarding students. 

Project Summary

  • Replacement of outdated heating system with a full plant room upgrade 
  • Installation of 2x Hoval UltraGas 2 300kW boilers 
  • Works carried out during the school break to minimise disruption 
  • New system fully operational in time for the start of term 

Results and Feedback

The new system has performed exceptionally well since commissioning, with no issues reported. The college has already observed a noticeable improvement in energy efficiency compared to its previous setup and is optimistic about long-term savings. 
The Hoval equipment has performed perfectly, with no issues, and the reliability and durability of the Hoval equipment have exceeded our expectations.

They confirmed that all requirements were met, and praised the responsiveness of the Hoval team throughout the project. They have also expressed interest in working together on future projects. 

“The entire experience has been excellent. The team were incredibly helpful throughout the process, providing clear communication and professional support at every stage.”


“The overall service was outstanding, and we look forward to working together again on future projects.” 

- Perry Dee, Cooper Weston Group
