Local coverage
Stoke-on-Trent is predominantly commercial work for Gear Bros Ltd. The Potteries' industrial estates, warehousing, distribution units, offices and retail parks generate a steady stream of cooling and ventilation requirements that behave very differently from domestic jobs.
Industrial buildings in this area are often large-volume, poorly insulated and full of heat-producing equipment. Cooling a whole warehouse is rarely the right answer; cooling the offices, control rooms and packing areas within it — and ventilating the rest properly — usually is.
Because Stoke is a planned run for us rather than a five-minute drive, most clients here put their sites on a servicing agreement. Visits are programmed, faults get caught while they are still small, and breakdowns become the exception rather than the routine.
Stoke-on-Trent is a planned commercial run for us, with visits scheduled in advance and grouped for multi-site clients.
We schedule Stoke-on-Trent work in advance, which suits the kind of clients we have here: facilities managers and operators who want dates in a diary, RAMS ahead of an induction and a clear scope, not an engineer turning up unannounced.
The six towns — Hanley, Burslem, Longton, Tunstall, Fenton and Stoke itself — plus Newcastle-under-Lyme give us a broad mix of building ages. Older brick industrial stock sits next to modern steel-frame distribution units, and each needs a different approach to plant siting, ducting and structural fixing.
Emergency attendance is available with our 1–2 hour target depending on location. We will always be straight with you about what is realistic for a given day rather than promising an arrival we cannot make.
Industrial units, warehousing, distribution, offices and retail across the Potteries and Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Scheduled visits that keep systems compliant and catch faults before they become production-stopping failures.
RAMS on request, F-Gas certification, REFCOM registration and up to £1m public liability for site access.
Several Stoke sites can sit on one agreement with a single point of contact for all of them.
We also cover Hanley, Burslem, Longton, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Etruria and the surrounding villages. See all our services or read more about Gear Bros Ltd.

Cooling for Stoke offices, control rooms, retail units and packing areas — capacity where it earns its keep, not blanket coverage.
Read more

Installations programmed around production and delivery schedules, with plant siting agreed before mobilisation.
Read more

Breakdown diagnosis on commercial plant, with repair costed honestly against replacement.
Read more

Planned servicing that keeps commercial systems compliant, efficient and running through the summer, with priority attendance if anything does go wrong and F-Gas records kept properly on your behalf.
Read more

Workshop, warehouse and washroom ventilation for Stoke industrial units where extract does the heavy lifting.
Read more

Cellar cooling for Stoke-on-Trent pubs, bars and hospitality venues, installed and maintained.
Read more

Domestic installations in the Stoke area alongside our commercial programme.
Read more

When cooling fails on a trading day, in a comms room or over a full restaurant, F-Gas certified engineers attend within 1–2 hours depending on where the site is — and tell you straight away what has failed and what it takes to fix it.
Read more

A free site survey and a written specification that says which units go where, why they were chosen and what the installation involves — so the system holds temperature on the hottest afternoon instead of running flat out and never getting there.

Why us
Stoke work is booked ahead with agreed dates, scope and paperwork, which is what facilities teams actually need.
Air conditioning, ventilation and refrigeration work including plant in demanding industrial environments.
F-Gas certified, REFCOM registered, up to £1m public liability, RAMS supplied on request.
Three years' labour and parts cover, and matched labour cover when the manufacturer warranty is extended.
Local conditions
Large-volume industrial buildings, heavy equipment loads and mixed-age building stock produce a recognisable set of failures.
Large industrial volumes with poor insulation and constant door openings will absorb almost any cooling capacity you throw at them, and the running cost is brutal.
The economic answer is nearly always targeted: cool the offices, control rooms, mezzanine spaces and any temperature-sensitive process area, and use ventilation to manage the rest of the building.
Production machinery, ovens, compressors and packing lines dump serious heat into a space. Systems sized on building dimensions alone are undersized from day one and run permanently at full tilt.
We survey the actual equipment in the room and its duty cycle, because a machine that runs eight hours a day changes the calculation completely.
The Potteries has plenty of long-serving equipment still in daily use, some of it on obsolete refrigerants with limited parts availability. That is a compliance and continuity risk as much as an efficiency one.
We assess whether a system is realistically repairable, what parts exposure looks like, and what a phased replacement would cost — so the decision is planned rather than forced by a failure.
Industrial environments load filters and coils far faster than offices do. A blocked evaporator loses capacity gradually, so nobody notices until the space stops holding temperature on a hot day.
That is exactly what a servicing agreement is for — filter and coil cleaning at sensible intervals for the environment, not a token annual visit.
Our process
Tell us the building, the rooms and the problem. We ask enough questions on the first call to know whether it is a survey, a repair visit or an emergency attendance.
We measure the space, check glazing, occupancy and heat-producing equipment, and look at where pipework and condensers can realistically go before anything is quoted.
Free, itemised and returned the same or the next working day depending on the size of the job — kit, labour, electrical work and commissioning, not a rough figure over the phone.
Booked around your trading hours. Floors covered, cores drilled cleanly, refrigerant handled under F-Gas rules, and RAMS issued in advance where a site needs them.
Pressure test, vacuum, gas charge, airflow and temperature checks, then a walk-through of the controls with whoever runs the building day to day.
3-year labour warranty and 3-year parts cover, manufacturer warranty upgrades matched with equivalent labour cover, and a servicing agreement if you want the system kept compliant.
Questions
Yes. Stoke-on-Trent is one of our service areas, covering the six towns and Newcastle-under-Lyme, with an emphasis on commercial and industrial work.
Emergency and breakdown call-outs are offered with a 1–2 hour response depending on location. Stoke is a planned run for us, so we will confirm realistic timings when you call.
Cost depends on capacity, system type and site conditions. Surveys and quotations are free, returned the same or next working day, with finance options available.
Yes, and most of our Stoke clients use them. Servicing agreements keep systems compliant and mean planned visits instead of reactive call-outs.
Yes. RAMS are issued on request, and we hold F-Gas certification, REFCOM registration and up to £1 million public liability insurance.
Yes, and it is usually the sensible approach — cooling offices, control rooms and process areas while ventilation handles the wider building.
Yes. We regularly take over maintenance of existing plant and put right installations that were not done properly.
Yes, we take emergency and breakdown call-outs. Clients on a servicing agreement get planned attention as well as reactive support.
A 3-year labour warranty and 3-year parts cover, with matched labour cover if you upgrade the manufacturer's warranty.
