From drawings to commissioned plant. Sentaur's project division delivers bespoke MEP install for new builds, refurbs, listed estates and luxury residentials. The same engineers who commission your plant on day one are the engineers who maintain it on year ten.
Most contractors are install-only or facilities-only. We do both, with the same engineers and the same project manager. The team who commissions your plant on day one is on the call rota in year ten - same company, same accountability, no handover gap.
Mechanical, electrical, plumbing and controls all engineered under one roof. The drawings are signed off by the engineers who will commission the plant - and maintain it through the next thirty years.
Five decades of unbroken trading on London stock. No private equity, no holding company, no offshore parent. Decisions get made in the building, not three counties away. We optimise for year thirty, not next quarter.
Commercial offices and retail are the daily book. Grade I and II listed estates, luxury residential and hotel flagships make up roughly the other half. Whether it is a Cat A office fit-out, a riser refurb on a live trading floor or plant rooms behind 18th-century plasterwork, statutory liaison and finish-grade work come built in - not subcontracted out when it gets hard.
Air conditioning, refrigeration, ventilation and plant. Comfort cooling, VRF and VRV split systems, chilled water, close-control for labs and server rooms, fume extract.
Design, install and certification. Lighting, emergency lighting, fire detection, CCTV, access control, intruder alarms, structured wiring, lightning protection, periodic testing.
Commercial boilers and flues, plant rooms, pumping stations, hot water systems, central heating, bathroom refurb, gas safety certification - domestic and commercial.
Building management systems calibrated, tested and tuned for performance and energy. Proactive monitoring with detailed reports and itemised improvement proposals.
Every discipline drawn under one roof - mechanical layouts, electrical schematics, plumbing risers, controls schedules. Compliance-led, costed by trade, signed off by the engineers who will be on site for the install. We start with the building, not a template.
Mechanical, electrical, plumbing or controls - whichever disciplines the job needs, delivered on site by direct-employed Sentaur engineers. Pre-fabbed off-site where possible to compress time on the live floor, with one project manager owning every trade through to handover.
Every trade tested, witnessed and certified to its own standard - F-Gas for refrigerant, NICEIC for electrical, Gas Safe for gas, BCIA for controls. O&M pack, as-built drawings, asset register populated, FM team trained on the plant. Nothing leaves site without the certificate.
PPM tailored to the SLA, statutory compliance lodged, 24/7 reactive helpdesk. The engineers who commissioned the plant are the engineers maintaining it - same company, same accountability, year on year. This is where the install pays back.
On every install we deliver, the same engineers carry through to PPM. The team that designs your plant is the team that installs it, commissions it and answers the call when something trips in year ten. Continuity is the structural advantage we sell.
Listed City estates, twenty-eight-floor luxury residentials, hotel back-of-house. We hold the keys because clients have trusted us with them - and across fifty-two years, we've never broken that trust.
Independent since 1974. No private equity. No quarterly cost-cutting. Decisions are made in Kings Langley, not in a boardroom 6,000 miles away.
Most of our clients have been with us for over a decade. Some for three decades. Whether we built the building or stepped into it, we stay - because the contracts that make sense are the ones that compound.
Premium MEP isn't loud. We design, install and maintain to a standard the building takes for granted. The best work goes unnoticed - and the only time anyone notices it is when something stops working.
Gas Safe, F-Gas, NICEIC, BCIA, SafeContractor - current, audited, verifiable. Every install hands over a full O&M pack, as-built drawings, witnessed commissioning records and trade-by-trade certification. Nothing leaves site without it.

Exposed-services commercial fit-out in central London - visible ductwork as feature, not flaw.

Most briefs that land in our inbox arrive after this scroll. The same six questions come with them - design, sectors, listed work, accreditations, handover, and the team that maintains afterwards. Below, the answers.
We start with a brief, drawings or scope. Our in-house design team turns it into engineered MEP layouts, costed by discipline, with a single project manager owning delivery from kick-off to commissioning.
Yes. Mechanical, electrical, plumbing and controls all designed in-house. No outsourced consultants, no handover gaps. The same engineers who draw the system commission it on site.
New builds and refurbs across luxury residentials, hotels, retail flagships, listed Grade I and II estates, lab and clean-room environments, plus commercial and critical-plant fit-outs.
If you take a PPM contract, yes. The engineers who commission your plant on day one are the engineers who maintain it on year ten. No handover, no re-learning the building.
Yes. Listed Grade I and II are part of our regular portfolio. We handle statutory liaison, conservation officer queries and the discreet routing that listed-building work demands.
