Services
Air Conditioning
We offer full lifecycle air conditioning services, from design and installation to maintenance and compliance. Our systems use low GWP refrigerants and advanced Inverter technology to ensure energy efficiency. With partnerships to industry-leading brands like Mitsubishi and Daikin, we deliver tailored solutions for commercial spaces, including TM44 inspections and F-Gas compliance. Expert engineers guarantee optimal performance and extended warranties.
Emergency Lighting
Our emergency lighting services ensure compliance with BS 5266-1 standards through bespoke design, installation, and testing. We provide 24/7 maintenance, battery checks, and integration with Building Management Systems. LED-based solutions offer longevity and low energy consumption, while annual duration tests confirm functionality during power failures, ensuring safe evacuation in critical environments.
Plumbing Services
We deliver comprehensive plumbing solutions including preventative maintenance, emergency repairs, and water heater servicing. Advanced leak detection technologies prevent costly damage, while retrofitting services improve efficiency with low-flow fixtures. ISO-certified processes ensure compliance for commercial properties, with rapid response teams available for urgent pipe bursts or drainage issues across the UK.
Water Hygiene
Specialising in Legionella risk assessments and water temperature monitoring, we maintain safe systems through bi-annual risk assessments and monthly bacterial testing. Automated monitoring systems track parameters in real-time, while remedial actions address non-compliance. Clients receive documented reports to meet ACOP L8 regulations, ensuring occupant safety in commercial and industrial settings.
Building Management Systems
We optimise Building Management Systems through routine servicing, software updates, and integration with HVAC controls. Our engineers ensure precise temperature regulation and energy efficiency, with 24/7 monitoring capabilities. Preventative maintenance schedules reduce downtime, while fault diagnostics resolve issues with lighting, ventilation, and environmental controls across multi-site commercial properties.
