BMS engineers whoactually know Greenwich.

Based in Swanley on the London/Kent border — 25–35 minutes off-peak from Swanley. We work across Greenwich Peninsula, North Greenwich, Woolwich, Blackheath and the wider the Royal Borough of Greenwich on installation, service, maintenance and reactive call-out.

We cover Greenwich

Every Greenwich postcode: SE3, SE7, SE9, SE10, SE18 and SE28. Greenwich town centre, the Peninsula, Charlton, Woolwich, Eltham, Blackheath, Kidbrooke and Thamesmead all sit inside our normal working radius.

Response times

Greenwich is one of our closest boroughs. Contract clients receive a 2-hour on-site SLA; in practice we're often on-site inside an hour off-peak. 24/7 phones answered by an engineer.

Greenwich property types

New-build Peninsula residential towers, mixed-use podium schemes, riverside offices, Victorian terraces in West Greenwich and Blackheath, 1930s parades in Eltham, MOD-legacy buildings around Woolwich, community leisure sites and primary and secondary schools across the borough.

Common BMS needs in Greenwich

Communal heat-network controls for Peninsula and Kidbrooke residential blocks, AHU tuning for riverside commercial floors, school BMS refits during summer half-terms, leisure centre pool-hall control strategies and reactive attendance on chiller and boiler faults through the winter.

On the ground in Greenwich

A closer look at how we work across the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

BIAV Controls is a specialist Building Management System contractor based in Swanley, on the London/Kent border. We install, service, maintain and reactively cover BMS across Greenwich — the whole of the Royal Borough of Greenwich — including Greenwich Peninsula, North Greenwich, Woolwich, Blackheath and the surrounding SE3, SE7, SE9, SE10, SE18, SE28 postcode area. The business was set up to deliver a specific standard of BMS work: open protocol, transparent scoping, written documentation, and engineers who actually turn up when they said they would.

Our engineers have 13+ years of hands-on BMS experience across every major open-protocol platform — Tridium Niagara, Trend, Siemens (Desigo and Talon), Distech, Cylon and Honeywell — plus any BACnet, Modbus or LonWorks device that touches a plantroom. That platform coverage matters in Greenwich because the borough's estate is mixed: modern buildings tend to be on current Tridium supervisors, mid-generation buildings run legacy Trend, and older civic and industrial stock often sits on Siemens or Cylon. One contractor comfortable across all of them saves you the pain of stitching together sub-contractors and losing accountability at the boundaries.

Every project we deliver in Greenwich carries the same commercial and technical guardrails. Public liability is insured to £20M, employers' liability to £10M and professional indemnity to £10M. Control panels are designed in-house and manufactured to BS EN 61439 by our panel-shop partner. Installed workmanship carries a 1-year warranty. Pricing is quote on application — issued in writing after a real site or specification review, not pulled from a rate card — and we do not tie buildings to a proprietary supervisor.

Contract clients across South East London receive a 2-hour on-site SLA and 24/7 phone cover answered by an engineer rather than an answer service. Reactive callers without a contract are prioritised within 24 hours. For Greenwich specifically, 25–35 minutes off-peak from Swanley, so response commitments are grounded in real travel time rather than optimistic mapping. If a site sits inside the SE3, SE7, SE9, SE10, SE18, SE28 postcode range, we are already routing engineers past it most working days.

Beyond Greenwich itself, our regular coverage extends across South East London and into neighbouring boroughs — including South East London, Bexley, Bromley — so multi-site clients get consistent delivery, one contractor and one paper trail across their estate. If you're weighing us against a national roll-up, the practical difference is that our office is a short drive from your building, our engineers know the borough's road network and access regimes, and there is no chain of sub-contractors between the person you speak to and the person on-site.

BMS Service in Greenwich

A BMS service is a planned visit by a controls engineer who checks every sub-system on the Building Management System — sensors, actuators, dampers, valves, control loops, schedules, alarms, network health and supervisor software — then corrects setpoints, resolves faults and issues a written service report.

BMS service
BMS Pre-Design in Greenwich

BMS pre-design is the engineering document set that defines exactly how a Building Management System will control every piece of plant on a project: point counts, control sequences, setpoints, alarm strategy, interlocks, protocol strategy, graphics scope and commissioning checklist.

Why choose us in Greenwich

Concrete reasons,not marketing lines.

Every claim on this page is drawn from things we can evidence: our insurances, our SLAs, our warranty terms and the standards our panels and partner electricians work to.

Local — not routing in from the M25

Our office is in Swanley, twenty minutes from Greenwich on a good run. That means genuine two-hour SLAs for contract clients and short notice reactive attendance when it matters.

Heat-network and communal-controls literacy

Peninsula and Kidbrooke schemes rely on communal boiler and heat-interface-unit control. We design, install and service those systems — sensor networks, weather compensation, HIU sequencing and metering integration included.

Schools and public-sector documented delivery

Greenwich has significant education and public estate. Every visit closes with a written report, panels are built to BS EN 61439, and workmanship carries a 1-year warranty — the documentation trail public procurement needs.

Local problems, honestly

BMS issues we seeacross Greenwich.

Greenwich's BMS estate is unusually mixed: a decade of Peninsula new-build with cutting-edge control expectations sitting alongside pre-war housing stock and 1970s civic buildings on legacy plant. The common thread is that most systems are running well outside the strategy they were commissioned to.

Communal heat network hunting

Heat networks on the Peninsula frequently 'hunt' — flow temperatures cycling, pumps working against each other, HIUs not getting design flow. Control-strategy tuning fixes what a mechanical re-balance can't.

Post-handover residential comfort complaints

New-build residential BMS is often signed off, then never revisited. When comfort complaints arrive six months in, the fastest fix is a controls engineer with the full points schedule and the willingness to rework schedules that don't match how the building is actually being used.

School holiday cut-over windows

Education BMS refits have to be done inside half-term or summer holiday windows or they don't happen. We plan installations around the school calendar, not around ours.

Riverside chiller and free-cooling opportunities

Greenwich riverside buildings have real free-cooling potential that off-the-shelf control strategies rarely capture. We tune sequences to the actual outdoor conditions the site sees, not the design-day assumption.
