Recent case studies
University College London – Chiller Replacement
As the incumbent Mechanical contractor for University College London, we have supported on numerous projects across the entire estate. A recent example is a Chiller replacement at the Institute of Neurology, part of a major international centre for research and training within the University.
Petrie Museum – Chiller Installation
Artic Building Services have 20+ years experience of carrying out major plant replacement projects within various sensitive buildings including: listed buildings, museums, University’s, Hospitals and the banking sector. Whilst all vary with specific requirements they all require similar level in planning to ensure disruptions are kept to a minimum and business is as usual.
A prime example of this would be for a project Artic recently completed. This was for a major plant replacement for the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology at the University of London.

What our clients say
The way your team have applied themselves and delivered over the past 18 months is second to none and this has only reinforced the relationship. It has also given me kudos as I brought you in, so thank you. I know that Peter and Danny are both new employees but whoever is doing the recruitment needs a huge pat on the back. They have been incredible. Technically, attitude, application are all top draw. They really are (after 1 month) the go-to guys on site. Feedback from colleagues, staff and students has been positive in regards to reaction times and job done first time.
If only every single contractor I had come across was so well-organised, kept me updated all times and delivered to such standards, my life would be much easier. It was a last-minute request as another contractor let me down badly and I needed someone to do the works urgently. When I called Artic (Chris Cerisola) I had not much hope you would be able to do the work on such short notice to such high standards. It seems I was wrong, thanks for that.
Terry Wicks (superstar). Terry has been very helpful over the last week. He popped into Lavington Street each morning to check the system. He made changes to see if we could right the wrong. He explains everything in a language that I understand. In other words, he doesn’t blind you with science. Terry is also a lovely chap and an asset to your team.
Works were completed swiftly and in particular we were pleased with the good and regular communications issued by Artic at all stages (from quoting in a timely manner to arranging attendance and completing the works)
Greig has done a great job on the monthly report and we spoke with all parties on our to keep the system working as efficiently and raise any concerns at the earliest opportunity. Please say a special thanks to Greig for his desire to make sure the Planet PPM system works as well as possible to not only achieve the SLA’s but also as a system to make sure we have a reliable and robust record of the good work we carry out on a month to month basis.
I think the current manager I deal with (Vince) is so adaptable and the best I think I have ever worked with
