FWP UK

What FWP UK does

FWP UK Ltd is a Nottingham-based HVAC services company founded in 2000 that provides the full package of design, supply, installation, and ongoing maintenance for ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration, and heating systems. It serves commercial clients primarily in the UK leisure and hospitality, retail, and broader business and commercial sectors, with a documented case-study portfolio spanning restaurant chains, hotels, spas, high-street retail, and performance facilities. Core technical capabilities cover Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems, chilled water and low-temperature hot water systems, air handling units, bespoke walk-in coldrooms and freezers (down to minus 40°C), kitchen canopies, fire suppression (Ansul), odour control, control panels, and air curtains, with in-house CAD design used from project conception through to as-built drawings.

The business operates a direct B2B enterprise field-sales model, engaging clients via free consultation, system specification against L2B Building Regulations and CIBSE guidelines, installation by in-house accredited engineers, and recurring service and maintenance contracts. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based installation work (professional services), supplemented by subscription-like recurring maintenance packages, with all work delivered directly by FWP UK's own engineering team rather than through resellers. The company holds accredited agent status with the four major HVAC OEMs — Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Panasonic, and Fujitsu — and is approved under the HM Government Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme, enabling clients to claim 100% first-year capital allowances on energy-saving equipment. It maintains B&ES, REFCOM/F-Gas, CSCS Platinum, IOR, SafeContractor, CHAS, and Worksafe Contractor credentials, and counts Carluccio's (100+ branches), Wagamama, Marriott, The Landmark London, Lush, The North Face, and Lacoste among its named enterprise customers.
