Project Overview
Semper Services delivered an emergency response and full remediation of non-compliant boiler flue systems within a commercial office building in London's West End. Following an urgent call-out, the existing system was identified as Immediately Dangerous (ID) and isolated. A full technical assessment was undertaken to design and implement a compliant replacement solution, ensuring safe reinstatement of critical building services during winter conditions.
