🔧 Another project delivered for Academy Transformation Trust, helping create a more efficient, reliable heating system for one of their schools.

🏫 The Brief
The school required the removal of an existing faulty boiler, associated pipework and flue, with a new, efficient heating solution installed in its place.

🛠️ The Solution
Over just 2 weeks, our team of skilled engineers completed the installation, including:
✅ A new Baxi Quinta Ace 160kW condensing heating boiler
✅ A new flue system and shunt pump
✅ A plate heat exchanger for mechanical separation
✅ Replacement heating, gas and water pipework
✅ New thermal insulation and electrical supplies where required
✅ Full testing, water treatment and commissioning

👏 The Result
The project was completed with minimal disruption to the school, delivering a modernised heating system designed to improve efficiency, support cost-effective operation and provide reliable heating throughout the winter months.

At Ford Mainwaring, we’re committed to delivering quality mechanical engineering solutions that keep buildings running efficiently and safely.

We recently completed a major heating upgrade for Affinity Learning Partnership at one of their sites.

🔧 The Challenge

The existing boiler plant had reached the end of its operational life. A complete upgrade was required to improve reliability, efficiency and long-term performance, while keeping disruption to teaching and learning to an absolute minimum.

⚙️ The Solution

Working during the school holidays, our engineers completely modernised the plant room, including:
• Installation of a Viessmann Vitodens 200-W four-boiler modular cascade system.
• New flue and heating pipework.
• Two 184kW Alfa Laval plate heat exchangers.
• New Grundfos heating pumps.
• A new Trend IQ4 Building Management System (BMS) and controls.
• New BMS wiring to improve monitoring, control and energy management.
• Comprehensive electrical upgrades.
• Removal of the existing boilers, pumps, redundant storage tank and hot water heater.

The academy now benefits from improved reliability, enhanced energy management and reduced risk of unplanned downtime. A great example of how careful planning, quality engineering and working around the needs of an operational school can deliver a significant improvement to critical building infrastructure.

A huge congratulations to our Contracts Manager, Pat, who took on the Copenhagen Half Marathon over the weekend in support of Dougie Mac Hospice.

Pat raised an incredible £795, a brilliant achievement both on and off the course.

Well done, Pat, and a huge thank you to everyone who sponsored and supported him. Your generosity will make a real difference. 👏

Today we say goodbye to our Contract Coordinator Stacey Charles, as she heads off to pastures new after an incredible 22 years with us!

There have been plenty of tears, lots of hugs, and more than a few stories and memories shared.

Stacey has been such a valued part of our team for over two decades. We’re excited for her as she starts this next chapter; she’ll be missed by us all.

Good luck in your new role, Stacey! 🎉

We are responsible for creating safe, efficient, comfortable and well-maintained environments. But how do we know if we’re delivering what our clients need?

Receiving feedback from clients helps us to:

- Identify areas for improvement before they become bigger issues.
- Build stronger, more transparent client relationships.
- Improve service quality and responsiveness.
- Measure performance against real client expectations.
- Discover new ideas and opportunities to add value.
- Recognise team members who are consistently delivering great service.

The best FM providers don’t simply deliver a service and walk away.
They listen, learn, adapt and continually look for ways to do better.

Planned Preventive Maintenance across commercial gas systems isn’t just a compliance exercise; it’s a critical layer of operational resilience in high-security infrastructure.

In environments such as government buildings, defence facilities, and critical infrastructure sites, gas systems must operate safely, efficiently, and without interruption.

Effective PPM helps to:

🚨Reduce the risk of unplanned outages
🔍Identify component degradation before failure
✅Maintain compliance with gas safety legislation
⚡Improve energy efficiency and system performance
🏗️Extend the operational lifespan of assets
