About Sensible Building Services

We cover Scotland and the north of England, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Motherwell, Hamilton, Cumbernauld and Falkirk. We are based in Shotts, North Lanarkshire. If you are not sure whether your site is within our area, call us on 07852 465 025 and we will confirm.

Yes. We are a dedicated commercial HVAC and building services contractor. That focus means we understand the plant, systems and compliance that come with non-domestic buildings, from plant rooms and cascade boilers to air handling and commercial gas.

Yes. We are Gas Safe registered for commercial gas work, REFCOM F-Gas certificated for refrigerant and air conditioning work, and CHAS accredited for health and safety. We can provide our registration details on request and issue the relevant certification for the work we carry out.

Yes. We provide 24 hour callouts for breakdowns and suspected gas escapes. Our standard working hours are Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 18:00, and we respond to genuine emergencies outside those hours.

Yes. Quotes and site surveys are free of charge and valid for 30 days. Call us on 07852 465 025 or send an enquiry through the website and we will arrange a survey and come back to you with a clear, itemised price.

A deposit may be required before larger works begin to secure the booking and cover materials. Final payment is due on completion unless agreed otherwise in writing, and payment is made by bank transfer. We set all of this out clearly in your quotation before any work starts.

Commercial boilers should be serviced annually as a legal requirement, although heavily used systems or critical heating installations may benefit from more frequent inspections depending on manufacturer guidance and operating conditions.

Yes. Every service visit includes clear documentation outlining the work completed together with any observations or recommendations.

Yes. Commercial boiler servicing can be included within a tailored Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) programme covering your wider mechanical building services.

Yes. We service individual commercial boilers as well as complete boiler plant and cascade installations.

Commercial boiler servicing starts from £149. The exact price depends on the number of boilers, the type of plant and whether the servicing forms part of a wider maintenance contract. We confirm the cost before we attend.

Yes. We design, install and refurbish complete commercial plant rooms, including boilers, headers, pumps, pipework, flues and controls, as well as single-boiler replacements. Every project starts with a free site survey.

Yes. Cascade and modular boiler systems suit larger buildings, sequencing multiple boilers so the plant matches demand efficiently and keeps running if one unit needs attention. We size and install these to suit your building.

Yes. Alongside heating we install and connect the associated hot water plant, including cylinders, calorifiers and booster sets, so the whole system is delivered as one coordinated package.

Installation and plant room projects are priced from a free site survey and provided by quotation. We set out a clear scope so you know exactly what is included before work begins.

We install split, multi-split, ceiling cassette, ducted and VRF systems, from single-office units to whole-building installations. We match the system to how each space is used and the cooling and heating it needs.

Yes. We are REFCOM F-Gas certificated, which means all refrigerant handling is carried out legally and recorded correctly. That matters for both safety and your compliance records.

Yes. We service and repair commercial air conditioning across all major manufacturers, changing filters, checking refrigerant charge and pressures, cleaning coils, testing controls and diagnosing faults.

Most commercial air conditioning should be serviced at least once a year, and systems in heavy use or critical areas such as server rooms often benefit from more frequent visits. Regular servicing keeps efficiency up and protects the warranty.

Yes. We carry out commercial gas safety inspections and issue the relevant certification for non-domestic premises such as offices, shops, schools, care homes and industrial units. We are Gas Safe registered for commercial work.

Yes. We carry out gas tightness testing on commercial installations, verifying the soundness of the system before it is put back into use and providing the documentation to prove it.

Yes. We install and alter commercial gas pipework to standard, and make sure everything is purged, tested and certificated before the installation is returned to service.

Make the area safe and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 for immediate danger. For commercial gas escape investigation and repair we offer a 24 hour callout, trace the source, make the installation safe and put it right, with everything documented.

Yes. We install air handling units (AHUs) and supply and fit commercial ductwork for new systems and alterations, sized and set up for how the building is used.

Yes. We service AHUs, change filters, check belts, bearings and dampers, and clean the components that keep air moving efficiently, which also helps control running costs.

Yes. Ventilation and air handling work well as part of a wider Planned Preventative Maintenance contract, so servicing across your heating, gas and ventilation plant is coordinated and documented in one place.

Planned Preventative Maintenance is an agreed schedule of servicing for your building's plant, rather than waiting for things to fail. It covers your heating, air conditioning, gas and ventilation systems at the right intervals so problems are caught early and compliance is kept up to date.

Each contract is tailored to your building. It typically covers scheduled servicing across your heating, air conditioning, gas and ventilation plant, priority breakdown response and full compliance documentation, all through a single point of contact.

Yes. PPM clients get priority breakdown response. Because we already know your plant, we can usually diagnose and resolve issues faster than an engineer seeing the site for the first time.

PPM contracts are priced by quotation based on the plant in your building and how often it needs servicing. You get a predictable cost and a single contractor for all of your mechanical building services.

Yes. We supply, install and replace commercial water heaters and calorifiers, sized to your building's hot water demand, along with the associated pipework, flue and controls.

Yes. We install and maintain cold water booster sets and pressurisation units to keep pressure and flow steady across larger and multi-storey commercial premises.

Yes. We service water heaters, calorifiers and booster sets, check the controls and safety devices, and can include this within a planned preventative maintenance contract alongside your heating and gas.

Water services work is priced from a free site survey and provided by quotation, so you have a clear scope and cost before anything starts.
