Mechanical contractors in Ballsbridge

Across Ballsbridge (Eircode routing key D04) it is mostly office and embassy building services, hotel plant, and heating and water services upgrades in large period properties, along with the pipework, plant replacement, testing and commissioning that goes with all of it. Ballsbridge is city core stock, which in mechanical terms means basement plant rooms reached by a single stair, risers that were never meant to carry what is in them now, buildings that are occupied while the work happens, and deliveries that have to be booked around a loading bay somebody else controls. Every job starts with a survey of the actual building rather than a price guessed from a description.

No. Ballsbridge is effectively on the doorstep of the Dublin base, so there is no travel charge and a first look at the plant can usually be arranged within a couple of days.

Yes. Ballsbridge mixes large period buildings with modern offices, so no two plant rooms in it look alike. Give us a ring and we will tell you what we normally find in plant rooms around RDS and what yours is likely to need before anything is priced.

It changes it more than most people expect. In Ballsbridge the plant room is usually in a basement reached by one stair and a lift with a weight limit, which decides whether plant arrives whole or in sections. The risers were sized for a different building to the one operating today, so tying new distribution in often means proving there is capacity before anything is ordered. The building is normally occupied throughout, so water off, hot works and noisy work all get agreed windows rather than being fitted in around us. And deliveries go through a loading bay somebody else controls, which is a programme item in its own right. None of it is a problem, but all of it has to be priced honestly at the start.

Yes, and it is the main reason clients call us rather than splitting a mechanical package across three contractors. Plant, distribution pipework, water services, testing, commissioning and the close out documentation are all handled by the same team in Ballsbridge, which also means there is one number to ring when something needs sorting rather than three people pointing at each other.

Ballsbridge is around 3 km from the Dublin base, so getting out to survey and price is quick. Actually starting depends on the diary and, more often, on the shutdown window the building can give us. We would rather give you a date we can hold than an optimistic one, so ring and we will tell you where the next honest slot is.
