Saints Contracting — Engineering solutions for smarter buildings
Decarbonisation & Net Zero

Decarbonisation and net zero for public buildings.

We help councils, public sector bodies and commercial clients across Cumbria and the North West cut carbon from their buildings — replacing ageing fossil-fuel plant with low carbon heat, renewable generation and the controls to run them well.

Public sector estates face binding net zero targets and rising energy costs, and much of the funding available is directed at decarbonising heat. Delivering it well takes more than swapping a boiler for a heat pump: systems have to be designed, integrated and commissioned to perform in real buildings that stay in use throughout.

As a mechanical and electrical contractor, we deliver the whole package — the low carbon plant, the electrical infrastructure it needs, and the controls that tie it together — with a single point of accountability from survey to handover and aftercare.

Low carbon heat

Replacing gas and oil plant with heat pumps and hybrid systems, sized and integrated to maintain resilience in buildings that stay in use.

  • Air source heat pumps (ASHP)
  • Ground source heat pumps (GSHP)
  • Hybrid heating systems
  • Plant room replacement

Renewable generation & storage

Solar PV and battery storage to cut bought-in energy and support electrified heat, designed alongside the electrical works.

  • Solar PV systems
  • Battery storage
  • EV charging infrastructure
  • Electrical distribution upgrades

Controls, testing & optimisation

BMS, controls and commissioning so low carbon systems actually deliver the savings they promise — then aftercare to keep them there.

  • Building management systems (BMS)
  • Commissioning & balancing
  • Performance monitoring
  • Handover & aftercare
