Started in 1992, James Brown Mechanical Services LTD has worked alongside organisations such as the
NHS, Cancer Research UK and the University of Cambridge. Based in Cambridgeshire, we pride ourselves in the reliable and trustworthy services we offer.

Our dedicated team have always had strong relationships with our clients, due to excellent communication. We offer work from small repairs and upgrades of the system, to the installation of boiler houses and plant rooms, covering all the services from heating, domestic hot and cold water, steam, gas and airlines.

We also undertake the installation of water tanks, pump booster sets, pressurisation units, plate heat exchangers and alike, using a wide range of products from the relationships we have built up over the years with the leading manufacturers.

Our work with the healthcare industry has made us very aware of the risk that legionella can cause. Due to this we offer any remedial works that may be associated with the reduction / removal of bacteria within any domestic services, even covering the use of chlorination to clean the system.

Recently we have expanded the business with the addition of a pre-fabrication workshop so we can cater for sections of LCS pipework or full plant rooms, working from your drawings and measurements to make sure that you are getting exactly what you need. http://www.jbmsltd.co.uk/
