Dales Manor, Pampisford and the A505 life-science belt

Sawston lies about 7 miles south of Cambridge between the A1301 and the A505, a few minutes from the A11 and M11 Junction 10. Dales Manor Business Park (CB22 3TJ) and the neighbouring Accelerator Park mix refurbished light-industrial units, labs and offices. On London Road at Pampisford, the former Sawston Trade Park site has permission for redevelopment as a business and science park.

Heating varies a lot unit to unit: gas-fired office and lab plant in some, warehouse heaters in others, and some refurbished units now run electric panel heating only. Tell us what is actually installed. Schools, the village college, care premises and the High Street shops make up the rest of the commercial heating load.

Gas or oil around Sawston

Mains gas reaches the village and the main estates, but farms, barns and businesses toward Babraham, Pampisford, Whittlesford and the Abingtons may run oil. Oil-fired commercial boilers are covered by our OFTEC trained engineers.

From Clare the run is Haverhill, Linton and the A1307, then the A1301 or Babraham Road: about 35–45 minutes in normal traffic.

Boiler servicing for Sawston's mix of sites

Labs and research buildings. Heating and hot water often support controlled rooms or process needs, so a service is planned with the facilities team: which boiler can be isolated, how long for, and whether a permit to work or a method statement is needed before the engineer starts.
Dales Manor and London Road units. Small offices and light-industrial units commonly have a single wall-hung or floor-standing commercial boiler, sometimes alongside warehouse heaters. If the landlord and tenant split responsibility for plant, tell us who is booking and who receives the report.
Schools and the village college. Best serviced in the holidays, with heating schedules, pumps and frost protection checked ready for term.
High Street shops, cafés and pubs. Visits early in the day, before trading or food service starts.
Farms and barns toward Babraham, Pampisford and the Abingtons. Often oil-fired, serviced by OFTEC trained engineers.

What is checked on a commercial gas boiler service

Visual inspection of the boiler, flue route and terminal, plant room ventilation and visible pipework.
Burner, electrodes and heat exchanger inspected and cleaned as the manufacturer specifies.
Gas inlet and burner pressures measured and a flue gas analyser reading taken and recorded.
Flame supervision, overheat protection and lockout tested.
Sealed system pressure, expansion vessel charge and condensate route checked, including frost risk on external condensate pipes.
A written record of readings and recommendations. Anything unsafe is handled under the industry Unsafe Situations Procedure and explained to you on the day.

Gas work is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers (registration 985448) under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Where you also need a record for a landlord, insurer or tenant, ask about a commercial gas safety inspection in the same visit.

Service or gas boiler repair?

A service is planned upkeep. If the boiler is already showing a fault code, locking out repeatedly, losing pressure or failing to heat, book a repair instead of waiting. The Sawston commercial boiler repair page covers call-outs, and at about 35 to 45 minutes from our Clare base Sawston is one of our shorter Cambridgeshire journeys. For sites with several boilers and water heaters, a planned maintenance plan sets a visit for each appliance.
