About Us

Our Story

Axiom Building Services Ltd was formed in 2006 by Jonathan Jones and Stephen Pennington, and has since developed into one of the leading Mechanical and Electrical contractors in the South West region. Covering all aspects of Mechanical and Electrical Services Design, Installation and Maintenance, Axiom Building Services offer a full range of services to the Commercial and Industrial building Industry. In October 2024 the ownership of the business was transferred to the Directors Gavin Kruk and Luke Gyde who between them have a wealth of experience and will look to build on the success of the previous owners.

Our aim is to deliver excellence in the planning, design, and installation of our projects. With a focus on the quality of our work, we ensure our staff are fully trained and highly skilled to ensure our projects are completed on time, within budget and to the highest standards. We encourage a proactive approach and continually look for ways to improve our capabilities through continued professional development and staff training.

Health & Safety

Health & Safety on site and in the workplace is of upmost importance, and at Axiom building services we are committed to ensuring that that all of our work is carried out as safely as possible. We are a certified Construction line Gold contractor, and we work hard to ensure all of our projects are undertaken in line with current CDM regulations and H&S safety guidelines. We encourage good communication between our management and installation teams so that everyone involved fully understands the procedures and precautions necessary to minimise the risk and hold regular training sessions and toolbox talks to keep everyone up to date. All of our operatives are CSCS registered.

Sustainability

At Axiom building services we are keen to ensure we operate as efficiently as we can. Our environmental policy is continuously reviewed as we look for ways to measure and improve our sustainability performance both on our projects and in how we run our business from day to day.

Some further reading on how we design for energy efficiency can be found on the Design pages of this site.
