About this company

Morris and Young Mechanical are a mid-sized air conditioning and refrigeration specialist contractor located in Hertfordshire in our newly refurbished 3500 sq. ft office and warehouse. We have engineers based around London and the Home counties.

Our directors, Jamie Stern (Sales Director) and Andy Montier (Service Director), are both fully qualified time served air conditioning engineers with nearly 65 years of experience between them.

 

We believe our company allows us to provide our customers with a professional, personal, bespoke and individual service that allows our engineers to familiarise themselves with the idiosyncrasies of each and every client no matter what the size of the contract.

 

We invest heavily in industry training and all staff that attend site are PAYE employees, we do not subcontract any of our service and maintenance contracts. Utilising our own engineers allows us to maintain a high level of service reflecting our duty of care to carry out strict preventative maintenance to reduce breakdowns and equipment downtime.

We have vast experience working with some of the UKs most recognisable heritage sites such as The O2, The Tower of London, where we designed and installed the cooling for the crown jewels and we are the current incumbent service and maintenance contractor at the Bank of England, having entered the fifth year of the contract with them. We service and maintain their air conditioning and refrigeration at Threadneedle Street, Moorgate and of course the high security Debden site with and including the critical main comms room. As expected, the security vetting for this contract is of the highest level. All works are carried out under a strict permit to work system and given the nature of the contract the client is particularly risk averse.

 

Our largest individual site now has over 1000 A/C units, 166 AHU’s and 20 chillers. The majority of the AHU’s are all HTM03 and much of the equipment is life critical, serving operating theatres, laboratories, drugs stores as well as numerous health care departments. The majority of the AHU’s require out of hours service and maintenance, normally over weekends or before 7:00am, again working under strict permit to work system.
