Who we are

One team from specification to commissioning

Prefab Plant Systems is the offsite plant room business of Combicert Ltd, a commercial gas and heating company working since 2019 and Gas Safe registered (621146).

We keep responsibility for the parts of a plant room that decide whether it works: the specification, the drawings, the gas installation and commissioning. Enclosures, frames and skids are built in UK offsite fabrication workshops to our drawings. Clients deal with one point of contact from survey to handover, and the engineers who drew the plant are the ones who connect and commission it.

  • Plant selected to the duty, not to a catalogue
  • Drawings and connection schedules issued for approval before fabrication
  • Pressure and functional testing before dispatch
  • As-built drawings, test certificates and O&M information at handover

Packaged plant rooms

Complete heating or cooling plant rooms in one weatherproof enclosure, delivered as a single lift.

Packaged boiler houses

Gas boiler houses built offsite, including replacement of existing boiler houses on occupied sites.

Modular boiler rooms

Multi-module boiler houses for higher outputs, restricted lifts or phased installation.

Skid-mounted plant

Pump, heat exchanger, pressurisation and boiler skids for existing plant rooms.

Data centre cooling plant

Chilled-water plant rooms, pump skids, TCS skids and plate heat exchanger skids. See also data centre cooling.

Under-pitch heating plant

Undersoil heating plant rooms for football and rugby pitches, training grounds and stadiums.

How it runs

Four stages, with fabrication in parallel with site works

  1. Survey

    Duty, fuel, redundancy, access, base, connection points and programme.

  2. Design

    Schematics, general arrangement and connection schedule, approved before fabrication.

  3. Build and test

    Frame, plant, pipework, electrics and controls built under cover, then pressure and functionally tested.

  4. Deliver and commission

    Lift plan, set-down, connections, gas testing and purging, commissioning and handover records.

The full process

Quotations

What to send for a quotation

The more of this we have at the start, the sooner we can give a firm price. Where some of it is not yet known, we will say what we are assuming.

  • Duty: heat or cooling load in kW or MW, flow and return temperatures, water or glycol.
  • Redundancy: duty and standby, N+1 or 2N.
  • Energy source: natural gas, LPG, heat pumps or chilled water, and the supply capacity available.
  • Documents: specification, drawings or employer's requirements, if there are any.
  • Site: address, where the unit will stand, delivery route, crane position and base.
  • Controls: BMS or EPMS integration and any points list.
  • Programme: target delivery date and any shutdown windows.
  • Interfaces: plant supplied by others, such as chillers or dry coolers, to be integrated.

What you get back

  • Technical queries and assumptions, raised early
  • A proposed plant arrangement
  • A written quotation setting out scope, price and programme

Every plant room is priced per project. The cost guide explains what moves the price.

FAQ

Questions about how we manufacture

More about the company: About · Projects.

Do you manufacture plant rooms in-house?

We design and engineer each plant room and keep responsibility for the specification, drawings, gas installation and commissioning. Enclosures, frames and skids are fabricated in UK offsite workshops we work with, to our drawings, and tested before dispatch.

Which areas do you cover?

Projects UK-wide. Under-pitch heating plant rooms are also offered across Europe.

Who do you work for?

Main contractors, M&E contractors and consultants, facilities and estates teams, data centre operators and developers, and football and rugby clubs and stadium operators.

Can you build to our consultant's design?

Yes. We price and build to the specification and drawings, raise technical queries early, and issue general arrangement drawings and connection schedules for approval before fabrication.

Can we witness testing before delivery?

Yes. Pressure tests and functional tests of pumps, valves and controls can be witnessed in the workshop before the unit is dispatched.

What happens after handover?

Combicert Ltd services and repairs commercial boilers, gas installations and plant room equipment after handover, with records for the site team.
