WMS was founded in 2003 by the Cooper family and after 20 years is a leading supplier and installer of underfloor heating systems for new build developments in the UK.
In 2003 the Cooper founders had six decades of experience in the construction industry but faced with a challenge in the early 2000s of competition from overseas, the family diversified, worked hard and found a market opportunity in underfloor heating.
Operating from their garage, making endless phone calls, following up leads and making contacts, the Coopers secured their first installation in October 2003. From there, and with continued hard work, the business kept coming. Over the last two decades, WMS has gone from strength to strength. Helping developers, architects, consultants and local authorities deliver the best heating and cooling solutions through an unbeatable combination of design, reliability and service. WMS’s client portfolio includes such names as Lendlease, Landsec, Cala Homes, Berkeley Homes and Multiplex.
WMS also remains committed to supporting a range of charities, donating £85k last year alone. Read more >>
TP Engineering Services LLP are a mechanical and electrical consultancy and have worked with WMS for the last15 years, we have worked together across various sectors from large high end residential luxury homes and apartment blocks to schools and commercial properties.
“Whist we don’t place orders with WMS, we find their attention to design and their extensive technical knowledge invaluable when coordinating the M&E design at the early stages of a project with architects and interior designers.
We have grown and developed our business over a number of years and WMS have been a valuable partnership in supporting us through this period.
Congratulations to WMS on two decades in business and we are looking forward to working with you for many more years. Many thanks for your support.”
“I first began working with WMS when I was working for Octagon Developments in 2004. I had received an introductory email and decided to send them an enquiry. The quote was the lowest and under budget, so we decided to take a chance and have a pre-order interview with them. At that time, it transpired, they were a newly set up, small family business with Ashley on site installing and his mum in the office.
At the meeting we made it clear that they can’t let us down or they won’t be working with us again!
We need not have worried as they gave us exceptional service levels on that project, with Ashley’s commitment to overcoming supplier delivery challenges, by going as far as driving overnight to collect materials from Newcastle to keep the project on program.
As a result of the successful completion of this project, we awarded WMS with many more orders for Octagon, and they became our go-to contractor for underfloor heating installations in our North London area.
I am now at Westfields Homes and would have no hesitation in using WMS again when the opportunity arises.
I am very pleased to see that WMS’ commitment to delivering a quality product, combined with exceptional customer service has served them so well, and I would like to take this opportunity to wish a happy 20th anniversary to them, and would send congratulations to all of the team.”
“Our relationship with WMS began in 2010 when we first employed their services to install underfloor heating systems, and over the years we have worked together on nearly 100 of our homes, from large luxury house to apartments. From day one, it was evident that WMS possessed a ‘can do attitude’ and a ‘quality first’ ethos, aligning perfectly with our values at Regal London. This shared commitment to excellence has made every project we’ve undertaken together a seamless and successful experience.
Regal London’s relationship with WMS has been instrumental in maintaining the quality and comfort we promise to our clients thanks to their exceptional service.
I have had the pleasure of working closely with Ashley at WMS on numerous projects, particularly during our early days. Ashley’s dedication was truly remarkable, as he would always answer my calls and would rise to the occasion! It’s this level of dedication and responsiveness that sets WMS apart.
As WMS celebrates their 20th birthday, they continue to provide an outstanding level of customer service and aftersales support. This level of commitment is precisely what our clients and properties demand.
Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend WMS Underfloor Heating to anyone seeking top-tier service and quality. Congratulations to WMS on reaching this significant milestone, and I eagerly anticipate many more years of collaboration with your team. Here’s to continued success and excellence!”
“As WMS are celebrating 20-years in business, Cala Homes and I are honoured to have been part of this journey.
I first placed an order with WMS in 2005 when I was a QS at Banner Homes, on some truly beautiful high specification houses in Hadley Wood, the relationship just grew thereafter. We recognised the quality and reliability that WMS brought to the table, subsequently entrusted them with all of our underfloor heating work.
When Banner Homes was acquired by CALA Homes in 2014, it was great to see this relationship continue seamlessly where WMS continue to perform well on our projects with Underfloor Heating WMS’s commitment and dedication has made them a strong partner for CALA Homes.”
“I first worked with Ashley at WMS in 2010 and continue to work with them at Woodford Heating today and I’ve always found WMS to be helpful, proactive and responsive. They have worked on high end complicated refurbishments as well as large volume apartment projects and their service is always of good quality
Congratulations on your 20th Birthday WMS, and look forward to working with you for many years to come.”
“It seems incredible that Choiceall first did business with you some 16 or 17 years ago when you were setting out on your journey with WMS. Like us you are a family business, and we appreciate the quality and attention received.
We work primarily in very exclusive bespoke residences and need a partner we can rely on to maintain the high standards demanded, which WMS have always achieved.
As a business approaching our 30th year ourselves, we are proud to have played a part in your growth. I am confident you will continue to grow and prosper and look forward to more opportunities together in the coming years.”
“It is rare to find a partner in business that has offered uninterrupted service excellence for such a prolonged period. I have been lucky enough to work with WMS for more than 18 years, initially on numerous projects for Banner Homes and subsequently for Cala Homes, since Cala’s acquisition of Banner in 2014. It has been great to be a part of WMS’s journey.
The longevity of our relationship is purely down to the expertise at WMS and the value that the business places on reliability and innovation.
Congratulations to WMS on reaching this significant milestone of 20 years! I have no doubt the relationship between our two companies will continue to prosper for many years to come.”
“I’ve been an underfloor heating installer for 24 years, I trained Ashley how to install a tacker system over a Jet Floor 20 years ago on a project in Potters Bar, he’s a good lad and done well.
I’ve worked for WMS for the last 16 years and worked on some great projects, they’ve helped me out when I’ve been in a fix and a good crowd to work for. Their products are top quality and good to install. I reckon I’ve installed about 2.5 million meters of pipe for WMS over the years, plus insulation and DPM!
Well done on your 20th birthday WMS, keep the work coming, all the best mate.”
“I first worked with Ashley at WMS when I met him on a cold windswept day in North London outside a site in Hampstead in 2008 when I was at Boon Building Services Ltd.
Ashley had walked into the office. Looking for nothing more than an opportunity and ended up two weeks later with a £20k order !
WMS have always put customer service and quality first, and when you do that everything else falls into place and I’m sure their business will have been built on repeat orders for these reasons.
I’ve seen WMS grow under Ashley’s leadership from a small turn-key sub-contractor, to the leading UFH design/supply/installer (using products that they actually own as well) and indeed chilled ventilated ceilings too!!
They have worked on high end complicated houses as well as large volume apartment projects and their service is always hands on and customer focused.
Congratulations everyone, on your 20th Birthday at WMS via Gold Management Partners and look forward to working with you for the foreseeable future.”
It was back in 2004 that WMS secured their first contract with Octagon Developments after they received an enquiry for the underfloor heating supply and fit for a large single detached property in Cockfosters, North London. This success was followed by many more.
At that time WMS were a new contractor on the underfloor heating scene and were eager to secure new business. Ashley and his team have continued to maintain their dedication to customer satisfaction and good service over the last 20 years.
“I congratulate WMS on achieving 20 year anniversary and their continuing and growing success.”
“I started working for WMS in 2008 when they brought their first premises, and I worked as a labourer on the new building. When the building work finished Leon trained me up on laying floor insulation and then how to lay the underfloor heating pipe. I have really enjoyed installing underfloor heating at WMS and I’ve worked on some incredible sites. My favourite was a massive house in Virginia Water, so big you had to look at the plans to avoid getting lost! We must have installed over 30 rolls of UFH pipe on that project.
I’ve also enjoyed training up other installers at WMS and is really good seeing them grow. The last 15 years with WMS has gone very quickly but been great. Congratulations to WMS on their 20th anniversary!”
“I now partner with WMS at AMDAS, but first worked with the team when at Land Securities, Nova Victoria was WMS’s first Major Project for Mace as a Tier 1 contractor and covered 170 luxury apartments at Land Securities flagship development.
WMS found solutions to a space fit problem, where the competition found only obstacles to the Client objective of maximised ceiling heights. Their culture of hands on problem solving is truly top down from the ownership and I am pleased to wish WMS congratulations on their 20th Birthday.”
“I first came across WMS in 2008 when doing a Super Prime development of shell & core fitout including 17 individual properties in central London, we worked with WMS to try and resolve the clients’ requirements for various heating requirements throughout the development.
We have been using WMS at Darke & Taylor as an integral part of our business ever since as they have always provided us with a 1st class reliable service over the year from start to finish and long may it continue. I am sure they will continue to grow and wish the whole team all the best on their 20th Anniversary.”
