BMS contractor acrossSevenoaks and TN.Commercial, education, heritage.

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 Sevenoaks — the whole of Sevenoaks, Kent — including Sevenoaks town, Riverhead, Otford, Kemsing and the surrounding TN13, TN14, TN15 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 Sevenoaks 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 Sevenoaks 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 Kent 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 Sevenoaks specifically, 20–35 minutes off-peak from Swanley, so response commitments are grounded in real travel time rather than optimistic mapping. If a site sits inside the TN13, TN14, TN15 postcode range, we are already routing engineers past it most working days.

Beyond Sevenoaks itself, our regular coverage extends across Kent and into neighbouring boroughs — including Swanley, Orpington, Dartford — 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.
