Services
Air Conditioning Installation
We design and install energy-efficient air conditioning systems for commercial and residential properties. Our solutions include wall-mounted, floor-mounted, and ducted units using low GWP refrigerants. All installations comply with F-Gas regulations and TM44 inspection requirements, ensuring optimal performance and environmental compliance. Our engineers are certified by Mitsubishi Electric and Daikin.
Plumbing Maintenance
Our preventative maintenance includes pipe inspections, leak detection, and fixture servicing for commercial properties. We use thermal imaging and hydro-jetting to ensure system reliability. Emergency repairs and 24/7 call-outs minimise downtime, while upgrades to low-flow fixtures reduce water consumption and costs.
Emergency Lighting
We provide design, installation, and compliance testing for emergency lighting systems. Our services ensure BS 5266-1 compliance with monthly functional tests and annual full-duration checks. Integrated systems support Building Management Systems for remote monitoring and automated fault detection.
Water Hygiene
Our Legionella risk assessments and temperature monitoring ensure safe water systems. We conduct bacterial testing, implement control measures, and maintain compliance with ACOP L8 guidelines. Automated monitoring and remedial actions safeguard occupant health in commercial buildings.
HVAC Maintenance
Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) schedules extend system lifespan and efficiency. Services include filter replacements, refrigerant checks, and performance optimisation. Our ISO 14001-certified processes reduce environmental impact while ensuring F-Gas compliance and energy savings.
