Warehouse air conditioning, ventilation and cold storage refrigeration across Heathrow, West London and the M4 corridor. One in-house multi-trade contractor, no downtime.
Big spaces, tight margins, no time for downtime. That’s the reality of running a distribution centre, and it’s the brief we work to. Arctic Cooling designs, installs and maintains warehouse air conditioning, ventilation and refrigeration across Heathrow, West London and the M4 corridor, sized for large volumes and built to keep working shift after shift.
We’re based around Heathrow and work across West London, the Thames Valley and the M4/M25 corridor, then wider across Heathrow, West London and the M4 corridor. Our own engineers self-deliver every trade, so one contractor is accountable for the whole site from survey to sign-off.
A logistics building rarely needs one system. It needs cooling in some zones, air movement in others, refrigeration for stored product, and comfort conditions for the people running it. We cover all of it under one contract.
Cooling a high-bay warehouse is a different job to cooling an office, and the energy bill is where it’s won or lost. Heat rises and stratifies under a high roof, so the answer is usually a mix of targeted cooling where people and sensitive stock are, plus warehouse ventilation to shift heat and keep air moving through the volume. We size the system to the building and the operation rather than dropping in more cooling than the space needs.
For chilled and frozen goods we install and maintain cold storage refrigeration — coldrooms, freezer rooms and the plant that serves them. Get the temperature wrong and it hits stock value and shelf life directly, so these systems get the same monitoring and fast reactive cover as everything else on site.
Warehouses come with offices, mezzanine admin space, canteens and welfare areas. We handle the comfort cooling and ventilation for those alongside the main building, so you’re not calling one firm for the warehouse floor and another for the office upstairs.
Most logistics sites run long hours, and plenty run around the clock. That’s the real worry when you bring in a contractor: not the kit, but whether the work stops the flow of goods. We plan installs and upgrades around your operation — phased zone by zone, out of hours, or scheduled to your quieter windows — so the building keeps working while we work in it. That might mean cooling one aisle while goods keep moving through the next, or running new pipework overnight before the first shift starts. On a live site that only holds together when one team controls the sequence, which is exactly how we’re set up.
We deliver all seven of our trades in-house — air conditioning, refrigeration, plumbing, electrical, catering, mechanical and ventilation, and maintenance. On a multi-trade logistics site that means no blame-chain between separate firms and no waiting on a subcontractor to turn up before the next stage can start.
We’re also cleared to work airside at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted, with airside passes and permits held directly in Arctic Cooling’s own name. That work runs to strict access, timing and safety rules with zero tolerance for disruption. If we can deliver at a live airport, we can deliver in your warehouse.
We’ve been trading since 2016 with approaching 40 engineers, and we’re F-Gas certified, SafeContractor approved, Constructionline Gold and NICEIC Approved Contractor for commercial electrical work. We hold Daikin D1 status — Daikin’s highest installer tier, which means extended manufacturer warranties on Daikin equipment — and we’re a Mitsubishi approved partner. Clients include British Airways, CBRE and Fortnum & Mason.
Whether it’s a new distribution centre, a cold storage upgrade or a maintenance contract for a building that can’t afford to stop, we’ll survey it and give you a straight answer on what it needs. Get in touch to arrange a site visit.
