What Is Mechanical and Electrical?
Mechanical and electrical, usually shortened to M&E, covers the systems that keep a building powered, heated, cooled, and running safely. MCT Facilities Group runs electrical and mechanical work as one service rather than two separate contracts, so a facilities manager deals with one team, one point of contact, and one set of compliance documentation.
Our work is carried out by directly employed engineers rather than a rotating pool of subcontractors. We take on planned maintenance contracts, reactive callout work, and standalone installation or upgrade projects, and we can review and take over an existing M&E maintenance contract without a gap in cover.
What We Commonly Find During an M&E Site Survey
Every building is different, but the same handful of issues turn up again and again when we survey a new site. Distribution boards are often overdue for testing or missing up to date circuit records. Emergency lighting is frequently installed but not tested or documented on the schedule it should be. Heating and ventilation systems are often running past their intended service intervals, which pushes up running costs before anything actually fails.
Flagging these early is part of why we run a full site survey before quoting on any maintenance contract or installation project, rather than pricing work without seeing the building first.
How Our Mechanical and Electrical Service Works
- Site survey. We inspect the building’s existing electrical and mechanical systems, check current condition and certification, and note anything that needs attention.
- Scope and planning. We put together a plan covering installation, testing, or a maintenance schedule, along with the paperwork the client needs for compliance.
- Installation or servicing. Our engineers carry out the electrical or mechanical work directly, coordinating around occupied buildings and working hours where needed.
- Testing and certification. We test completed work and issue the certification and documentation required to meet current electrical and mechanical regulations.
- Ongoing maintenance. Where a client needs it, we set up a planned maintenance schedule alongside reactive support and provide regular reporting on completed work.
Mechanical and Electrical Services by Sector
M&E Services for Offices
Office buildings need electrical and mechanical systems that stay reliable without disrupting the working day. We schedule testing, servicing, and upgrades around office hours so lighting, power, and HVAC keep running without interruption.
M&E Services for Industrial Sites
Industrial sites carry higher electrical loads and more mechanical plant, so planned maintenance and fast fault finding matter more here. We coordinate servicing schedules around production time to keep downtime as low as possible.
M&E Services for Care Environments
Care environments are occupied around the clock, so electrical and mechanical work has to happen without disrupting residents or staff. We plan installations and servicing around the building's routine and prioritise the safety checks that occupied care settings need.
M&E Services for Retail
Retail sites need electrical and mechanical systems that keep working through trading hours, from lighting and power through to heating and cooling. We coordinate testing and repairs around opening times so customer facing areas stay unaffected.

Our Mechanical and Electrical Services
We split our mechanical and electrical services into three areas, all delivered by our own engineers.
Electrical Systems
Our electrical systems work covers a building’s power supply from the incoming distribution through to individual circuits. This includes:
- LV distribution and containment
- Power distribution and rewiring
- Distribution board upgrades and replacement
- Lighting and emergency lighting installation
- Periodic electrical testing and inspection
- Fault finding, remedial works, and certification
Mechanical Services
Our mechanical services cover the plant and systems that heat, cool, and ventilate a building. This includes:
- Plant room installation and maintenance
- Commercial boilers and heating systems
- Pumping systems and pipework
- Ventilation and air conditioning
- Refrigeration systems
- Gas work carried out by qualified engineers
Maintenance & Upgrades
Beyond new installations, we run ongoing maintenance and upgrade work for clients who need their existing M&E systems kept compliant and up to date. This includes:
- Planned preventative maintenance schedules
- System upgrades and replacements
- Compliance testing and certification
- Fault diagnosis and reactive repairs
- Contract takeover from an existing provider
- Service reporting and documentation
Why Facilities Managers Choose MCT
- One contractor for mechanical and electrical. No coordinating between separate electrical and mechanical suppliers or chasing two sets of paperwork. One contract, one point of contact, one maintenance schedule.
- Directly employed engineers. Our electrical and mechanical work is carried out by our own qualified engineers, not a rotating list of subcontractors, so the same standards apply on every job.
- Compliance documentation you can rely on. Every job leaves you with the certification and test records needed to demonstrate compliance, kept on file for future reference.
- Planned and reactive support together. Routine servicing runs on a set schedule, and reactive faults are logged, coordinated, and reported back on once resolved.
- Experience in occupied buildings. Work in care homes, offices, and retail units is planned around the people using the building, not the other way round.
- Accredited and vetted. CHAS accreditation as a contractor, Constructionline membership, and NICEIC status as an approved contractor for commercial electrical work.

Our team has been delivering electrical services since 2016, and MCT Facilities Group now brings that experience together with mechanical and facilities services under one company.
Mechanical and electrical services cover a building’s power supply, lighting, and electrical testing alongside heating, ventilation, and mechanical plant. At MCT Facilities Group, this runs as one combined service across electrical systems, mechanical services, and maintenance and upgrades, so clients get one contractor rather than two separate ones.
Electrical services cover a building’s power supply, wiring, lighting, and testing. Mechanical services cover heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and plant equipment such as boilers and pumps. Most buildings need both working together, which is why we run them under one contract instead of splitting the work between two contractors.
Yes. We set up planned preventative maintenance schedules based on the systems in the building and the manufacturer’s recommended service intervals, and we run reactive repairs alongside that schedule for anything that comes up between visits.
