Systems that work as designed.Proved before handover, not after.
We commission and recommission water and air systems in new and existing buildings, from planning the commissioning programme to returning in each season to prove the building performs. Because we also clean and treat systems, commissioning and water quality are planned together rather than working against each other.

Commissioning for new and existing buildings.
Water commissioning
Flow measurement and balancing of heating, chilled and condenser water systems to CIBSE Code W and BSRIA BG2.
Air commissioning
Air flow measurement and balancing of AHUs, fans and distribution to CIBSE Code A and BSRIA BG49.
Commissioning management
Planning, programming and coordinating commissioning across trades, so systems are ready to commission when the programme says they are.
Recommissioning
Rebalancing of existing systems after fit outs, alterations or plant replacement.
Seasonal commissioning
Return visits in the heating and cooling seasons to verify performance under real load after handover.
Handover records
Commissioning results, certificates and records for each system, packaged for the O&M manual.
From programme to sign off.
Plan
We agree the commissioning programme, method and acceptance criteria with the design team before work starts.
Prepare
Systems are cleaned, filled and checked in the right order, so they are ready to commission.
Commission
Flows are measured, set and recorded against the design, system by system.
Prove
Results are handed over as evidence, then verified again in season.
Commissioning is only as good as the water in the system.
Debris and poor water quality block strainers, foul commissioning valves and undo a balanced system within weeks. We plan cleaning, filling and commissioning as one sequence, so each stage protects the next. Need an independent check on work carried out by others? That sits with our consultancy team.
When should we bring you in?
Before the commissioning programme is fixed. Early involvement lets us plan cleaning, filling and commissioning in the right order, and agree acceptance criteria while they are still easy to change.
Can you rebalance an existing building?
Yes. We recommission systems after fit outs, alterations and plant replacement, so flows match how the building is used today.
What is seasonal commissioning?
A return visit in the heating or cooling season to check systems perform under real load, which is rarely possible at handover. Any adjustments are made and recorded.
What do we get at handover?
Commissioning results, certificates and records for each system, packaged for the O&M manual.
