Creating the right environment is essential for safe and effective scientific work. At Lab Fit, we specialise in the design, supply, and installation of HVAC and air conditioning systems for laboratories, cleanrooms, offices and research facilities across the UK.
Whether you’re upgrading an existing lab, converting an office space, or starting from scratch, our turnkey HVAC services ensure your systems are compliant, energy-efficient, and tailored to your science.
Laboratories have unique environmental requirements — from strict temperature and humidity control to the safe extraction of hazardous fumes.
We design and install lab HVAC systems that support:
– Temperature-sensitive experiments and instrumentation
– Humidity control for cleanrooms and dry rooms
– Air filtration for biosafety and contamination control
– Fume cupboard integration and COSHH compliance
– Pressure zoning and air balancing
– Heat recovery and energy efficiency
Every lab is different — and so is our approach. Our in-house team works closely with you to deliver fully integrated HVAC and air conditioning solutions that align with your layout, budget, compliance needs, and scientific processes.
Our services include:
– HVAC feasibility assessments
– Mechanical design and airflow modelling
– Supply and installation of AHUs, ductwork, chillers & controls
– Smart building integrations (BMS)
– Retrofit solutions for office-to-lab conversions
Repurposing an office or commercial space? We are one of the UK’s leading specialists in office-to-lab conversions. Our HVAC designs ensure that your converted space meets all necessary lab specifications — without the cost of new-build construction.
Our HVAC and ventilation systems are designed to meet all relevant regulations, including:
– Building Regulations Part F & L
– HTM 03-01 and NHS Estates Guidelines
– BS EN 14175 (fume extraction)
– ISO 14644 (cleanrooms)
– COSHH & HSE best practice
We provide detailed commissioning reports and validation documentation for peace of mind.
Sustainability is a key consideration in modern lab design. We incorporate energy-efficient HVAC technologies, including:
– Variable air volume (VAV) systems
– Heat recovery units
– Smart thermostats and zonal control
– Low-carbon HVAC upgrades
We help clients reduce operational costs without compromising on safety or performance.
