20+ Years Experience
Specialist Mechanical Plant Rooms
Factory facilities are the heart of your business. Whether you are using multiple large buildings holding several plant rooms each or just focusing on a single building with a shared space, having the right plant rooms for your company is important.
We are the market leader in Mechanical Plant Room installations in May 2024, offering rooms that can perfectly satisfy our client’s plant room requirements with minimal disruption and delays. All of our work is handled bespoke, specific to each of our customers and their needs.
We work in commercial properties throughout the UK and have served countless clients in the past. Whether clients need an upgrade to their business, repair work to maintain their existing buildings or an entirely new installation, we can provide it.
A boiler room is a room that is dedicated to mechanical equipment and its associated electrical equipment, as opposed to rooms intended for human use or storage.
As a professional mechanical plant room business, we aim to produce installations that are energy-efficient, low-maintenance, and generally proportional to the company’s needs. Creating the appropriate buildings and spaces for a company’s operations can be incredibly important to keeping everything running normally.
Our expertise goes into all parts of the design service, and our qualified engineers can help you plan out the perfect space for your business. This includes details like size, space, floors, airflow, and the cost of the completed building services work.
The contents of a plant room can vary depending on what the company is using the site for, but there are certain details that almost always have to be included or installed. An optional plant room should contain:
A plant room needs to be a safe place for heating, cooling and handling the electrical power needed for any industrial building. It hosts the mechanical components and electrical equipment needed to run a business or building.
A plant room is also sometimes called a mechanical room or boiler room for this exact reason: it is the room where the equipment necessary for building services are managed and provided. This could include aspects like:
We offer a number of great Mechanical Plant Room services and are more than happy in assisting you on anything you need more information on.
Designing a plant room means looking into the specifics of what you will need, what you will have to install, and how the room will operate relevant to the buildings. For example, the functionality of the room and how it is servicing another space can be important to its design.
Exhaust gases need to be directed towards ventilation areas, and individual plant rooms need to be assigned certain obvious functions. Temperatures should be regulated where possible, and the completed location should be designed for functionality over aesthetics.
Upgrades to existing plant rooms can lead to substantial savings and benefits. For example, using energy-efficient devices on-site or improving the plumbing can lead to extra money saved, while choosing to install a more reliable plumbing system can reduce maintenance frequency and the cost of repairs.
We can provide numerous upgrade project options for your plant room – our team will discuss the benefits you need and search for high-quality, affordable ways to improve your existing systems and services.
We can send a team to inspect your plant room, pointing out areas where maintenance may be necessary, or if a previous install project may not have been completed properly. Even if the plant room needs no repairs, we can still try to point out areas where improvements might cut out unnecessary costs or give your system more options.
Proper health and safety checks are important for any company. One of our core services is to offer bespoke assessments of your entire system, pointing out potential dangers in the constructed plant space and offering ways to manage or mitigate them.
This search and assessment can be as in-depth as you need and can result in a combination of different outcomes depending on what issues we find. Our services enable us to repair or limit most of these safety concerns quickly and easily, including calling in gas engineers or other service experts when necessary.
Another of our services focuses on maintaining the systems in existing plant rooms. Generally, these systems need to be maintained quite often, but we can make sure we do emergency repairs if some parts wear out too quickly.
This includes fixing low-quality parts and components, such as poor-quality plumbing work that might wear out faster than normal.
Whether a building or a standalone unit, a plant space should ideally be easily extended or relocated to aid in future property planning. We have integrated building rooms in countless projects of all kinds around the UK, from worksite construction to schools and hospitals.
Satisfactory delivery and great service are important to us. We rely on our knowledge and skills to design a building and internal systems that will withstand the test of time.
At Mechanical Plant Room, we have been constructing pre-built factory facilities that fully comply with the standard BSEN1080 requirements for many years. The construction industry is driven by the need for fully integrated plant room solutions, which we can provide as a cost-effective solution for most construction projects.
Our highly specialized structures are able to provide optimal performance year after year. Concrete floors can be integrated to suit the heavy load requirements of your plant rooms within the UK.

It is advisable to have air conditioning units for offices and commercial units. Air conditioning systems work by moving heat from inside your premises to the outside, a central AC system draws air into the ductwork system through the return air system. This is a massive factor for plant rooms as we want to avoid equipment overheating as much as possible.
We have found that the optimal temperature for plant rooms should range from 68 degrees to 75 degrees Fahrenheit to help avoid overheating of machinery.
Heat exchangers are used to transfer heat from a source and a working fluid. Heat exchangers are commonly used in both cooling and heating processes, the fluids may be separated by a sold wall to prevent mixing or they may be in direct contact.
Below I have listed some of the benefits of constant pressure water pumps:
A control panel is a usually flat, sometimes vertical, area where control or monitoring instruments are displayed or it is an enclosed unit that is the part of a system that users can access, such as the control panel on a security system (also called a control unit)
Control panels consists of a controller. The controller may be PLC, DCS relay or another type. They give signal input into the MCC panel to start the motor. Control panels work based on the PLC/DCS program or relay logic.
Mechanical controls feature a turning know or switch to set the air conditioner to cool within a certain temperature range. The presets given with an air conditioning unit are usually cool, cold and coldest.
A cold water storage tank is used for the storage of large amounts of water from which the building is supplied with water. The tank is then replenished by the main water supply at a steadier rate.
Mechanical plant rooms can be a very noisy place with sound reverberating around the solid walls and little or no soft surfaces to deaden all unwanted noise. It is possible to lower the sound transmission by creating acoustic barriers between each piece of vibration producing equipment and the main building structure. We would normally use a combination of inertia bases, floating floors, flexible pipe connectors and acoustic hangers.
Most heat pumps should be installed outdoors as they require a good flow of fresh air to operate properly. Some models can however be installed in a pump-house or plant room using the through the wall ducting kit or by cutting a hole through the wall of the plant room to allow the air to be blown inside.
The following things should be considered during your plant room design stage:
The term circulation refers to movement of people through, around and between buildings and other parts of the built environment. Within buildings circulation zones are zones that are predominately used for circulation, such as entrances foyers and lobbies, corridors, stairs, landings and so on.
Equipment monitoring is a system for observing and tracking commercial or industrial equipment. It is called remote equipment monitoring or machine monitoring, equipment monitoring is typically made up of several components.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent, 3D model-based process that helps MEP professionals design, detail, document and fabricate building systems more efficiently. With BIM, project teams improve collaboration, share data and speed up project delivery from design to construction.
A plant room can have a build up of heat so it should ideally have a heating ventilation system in place, heating ventilation is very important to stop excessive build up of water vapour that could manifest itself as condensation and deteriorate the fabric of the building. Heating ventilation systems also help achieve the most energy efficient and cost effective outcome for every home.
