Mainteniq provides HVAC maintenance, BMS maintenance, HIU servicing, emergency HVAC repair and compliance certificates across the City of London for facilities managers, managing agents, landlords and serviced apartment operators.

The Square Mile is fifteen minutes from our Westminster base, so planned visits and emergency call-outs sit inside our same-day response target, and every visit ends with a photographed report.

Commercial first

Office stock is almost entirely mechanically cooled and BMS-controlled, so most work is planned HVAC maintenance under lease and MEES obligations, not reactive repair.

Small, concentrated housing

The Barbican estate accounts for a large share of the City's homes, on a communal heating system with listed-building constraints. Newer fringe developments use HIUs on shared networks.

Same duties as elsewhere

Flats let to professionals on short tenancies or as serviced apartments carry the same statutory duties as anywhere in England: annual gas safety checks, five-yearly EICRs and F-Gas records.

The Barbican and Golden Lane Estates

Two of London's best-known post-war estates, both Grade II listed, both heated communally.

01 · Listed fabric

Work inside listed flats has to respect the original fabric.

02 · Access

Access is coordinated through the estate office or the managing agent.

03 · Experience

Residents expect a contractor who has done it before.

04 · Records

Every visit is documented with photographs and readings, with a block summary at the end of a programme.

We service and repair the unit-level heating controls and hot water equipment. We hand the managing agent a block summary at the end of a programme.

City of London Property Maintenance FAQ

Yes. Planned HVAC maintenance for City offices is the core of our commercial work: VRF and chiller servicing, fan coil unit filter and coil cleaning, F-Gas leak checks at the interval each system requires, TM44 inspections where cooling exceeds 12kW, and BMS calibration, all on one annual contract with a photographed report after every visit and an emergency line for contract clients.

Yes. The Barbican and Golden Lane estates are Grade II listed and communally heated, so work inside flats has to respect the original fabric and access is coordinated with the estate office or managing agent. We service and repair the unit-level heating and hot water equipment, photograph and document each visit, and provide a block summary at the end of a programme.

The same as anywhere in England: an annual Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) where there is a gas appliance, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) at least every five years, PAT testing where appliances are supplied, and F-Gas records where the flat has air conditioning. Serviced apartment operators carry the same duties. We coordinate all of them on one renewal schedule and keep the certificates in one file.

Our office is in Westminster, about fifteen minutes from the Square Mile, so the City sits inside our same-day emergency response target. Contract clients have priority on the emergency line for loss of cooling, heating or hot water.
