How much does server room cooling cost in Leicester?
In Leicester, guide prices run from about £3,850 to £14,650 per room (duty/standby pair), plus VAT. A typical job (small comms room, 2–5 kW IT load, N+1 pair) usually comes to £3,850–£8,750 plus VAT. Your exact price is fixed in writing once we have surveyed.
Server room cooling is dedicated air conditioning that removes the heat produced by IT equipment around the clock, independently of the office system.
Leicester and surrounding areas
Leicester is one of the main commercial centres in Leicestershire, with city-centre offices, retail streets, hospitality venues and business parks on its edges.
We cover every Leicester postcode, including LE1 and LE19. Neighbouring towns we cover include Oadby, Wigston and Earl Shilton. Buildings across Leicestershire range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
What we do
- IT load assessment (kW) and room survey
- Duty/standby (N+1) unit design
- Low-ambient kits so cooling works in winter
- Rotation and changeover controller
- High-temperature alarm or BMS / email alert

Before you book in Leicester
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Working hours
Most Leicester businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
