We provide commercial HVAC and full mechanical and electrical services across Heathrow, West London and the M4 corridor, generally within a 20-mile radius of Heathrow.
Arctic Cooling is a commercial HVAC contractor based around Heathrow, delivering air conditioning, refrigeration and full mechanical and electrical work across Heathrow. We self-deliver all seven of our trades in-house with our own engineers, so one firm carries the job from survey to sign-off. No blame-chain between separate contractors when something needs fixing.
If you’re a facilities manager, main contractor or building owner weighing up who to put on your building, the questions that matter are simple: which trades do they actually cover themselves, what are they accredited to do, and can they turn up when the plant fails. Here are the answers.
Our flagship airside work includes cooling and HVAC for Hold Baggage Screening at Heathrow, across multiple contracts, and repairing the Pre-Conditioned Air units that feed conditioned air to parked aircraft. Both run in environments where downtime isn’t an option: HBS halls operate around the clock, and PCA keeps aircraft comfortable on stand. If we can deliver that at a live airport, we can deliver in your building. The planning discipline, the vetting, the working around live operations — that’s the standard every client gets, not just the airports. Read more about working airside.
Seven trades, all delivered in-house. You can see the detail on our services page, but in short:
design, supply, install and repair of commercial air conditioning in Heathrow, from single splits to VRV/VRF systems and close control.
We focus on six sectors where the buildings are demanding and downtime is expensive:
cooling failure isn’t an option, and the engineer on site needs to understand the environment before touching anything.
temperature control for stock and the mechanical services that keep large sites moving.
Each sector has its own rules and its own way of working, and we build the job around them. There’s more on each on our sectors page.
One accountable contractor. Because all seven trades are ours, there’s a single firm responsible for the whole package. No coordinating three subcontractors, no gaps where one trade blames another. As a multi-trade M&E contractor, we quote it, install it and maintain it.
Response when it counts. Every client gets same-day reactive call-out. Clients on a maintenance contract get faster response and, depending on the agreement, up to 24/7 cover [tighter SLA hours]. Planned maintenance keeps the plant running so you’re not relying on the call-out in the first place.
Depth on the ground. We’re approaching 40 engineers, employed and directed by us, so the people on your site are ours and accountable to us. And we’ve been trading since 2016, nearly a decade of commercial M&E work across some of the hardest-to-access sites in the region.
Tell us what’s on your site and what’s giving you trouble, and we’ll get an engineer out to look at it. We’ll come back with a straight quote, and if you go ahead, the same in-house team carries it through to sign-off.
An M&E (mechanical and electrical) contractor delivers the systems that make a building work: air conditioning, refrigeration, ventilation, plumbing, heating and electrical services. Arctic Cooling covers all of those and more, with seven trades delivered in-house rather than through separate subcontractors.
One accountable contractor removes the gaps and the blame-chain that appear when several firms share a job. Because we self-deliver all seven trades in-house, we quote, install and maintain the whole package, and there’s a single point of responsibility if something needs putting right. It also keeps coordination and programming under one roof.
Every client gets same-day reactive call-out. Clients on a maintenance contract get a faster response and, depending on the agreement, up to 24/7 cover. Planned preventive maintenance also reduces how often you need the call-out in the first place.
Look for F-Gas certification for refrigerant work, NICEIC approval for commercial electrical work, and independent checks like SafeContractor and Constructionline Gold. Arctic Cooling holds all of these, plus Daikin D1 and Mitsubishi approved partner status for manufacturer-backed installs.
Yes. Airside work requires vetted engineers, airside passes and driving permits, all subject to strict security control. Arctic Cooling holds airside signatory status, driving permits and engineer passes at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted directly in its own name, which is why we’re trusted on some of the most controlled sites in the country.
