M&E Consultants Manchester
Our Manchester team supports clients across Greater Manchester and the North West with mechanical and electrical design, sustainability advice and building performance services. We help commercial estates, life sciences, education providers and public bodies deliver reliable engineering outcomes, lower operational energy and planning submissions aligned to Part L and Part O with TM59 or TM52 assessments as required. If you need experienced building services engineers in Manchester, we provide practical, commercially grounded MEP guidance from first survey to in‑use verification.

Manchester — Building Services, Net Zero and Planning FAQs
Do you deliver M&E design for offices, education and healthcare across Greater Manchester
Yes. We provide full MEP design and advisory support for commercial offices, universities and colleges, and NHS and local authority projects. Our focus is buildable solutions that meet programme, budget and performance targets.
Can you convert or refurbish city centre buildings into modern workplaces or labs
Often yes. We run feasibility on structure, risers, plant space, air change rates, extract routing and landlord criteria, then set a staged MEP plan with costs and programme. We coordinate noise, odour and vibration controls to protect neighbours.
Do you produce Energy Statements and sustainability inputs for planning
Yes. We prepare clear, proportionate Energy Statements, low and zero carbon appraisals and overheating assessments. We align with Part L and local planning expectations, keeping submissions lean to aid determination.
How do you handle Part L 2021 and Part O compliance
We model to Part L using SBEM or SAP as appropriate, then assess overheating to TM59 for residential and PBSA or TM52 where non‑domestic spaces are in scope. We integrate mitigation early so compliance is achieved without over‑engineering.
Do you offer net‑zero roadmaps and decarbonisation strategies for portfolios
Yes. We baseline actual consumption, identify fabric and systems measures, and set a phased pathway covering heat electrification, heat pump readiness, heat recovery and controls. Each step includes cost, carbon impact and operational risk.
Can you improve EPC ratings to support letting or refinancing
Yes. We run EPC improvement pathways with quick wins such as lighting and controls upgrades, power factor correction and plant sequencing, then plan medium‑term plant replacement. We forecast band uplift so owners can de‑risk transactions.
Do you design for heat network readiness
Where appropriate we design low‑temperature systems, specify substations and plate heat exchangers, and allow for cost‑effective future connection. If no network is planned we set out practical alternatives that retain flexibility./p>
Do you provide building performance services after handover
Yes. We deliver TM54 at design, seasonal commissioning, fine‑tuning and in‑use verification against the design intent. Meter insights drive targeted control changes to close the performance gap.
Do you produce BREEAM strategies and circular economy evidence
Yes. We integrate energy credits with low‑carbon heat feasibility, materials reuse, refrigerant impact and embodied carbon advice. We coordinate with the design team so credits are secured efficiently.
