Company History

A&L Mechanical Installations Ltd was incorporated in June 1990, initially securing several small mechanical installation sub-contracts within the Water Industry. Our competitive pricing led to a steady influx of sub-contracts from leading Water Engineering Contractors. The primary focus of the business has always been to deliver Mechanical Installation Engineering Solutions within the Water Industry while establishing a client base built on Quality, Service, and Value.

In just five years, we made significant progress, developing a more established client base. By 1995, A&L began to gain recognition within the Water Sector. Between 1995 and 1999, our reputation for consistent Quality and Service grew, opening up new opportunities in Scotland and resulting in several new clients and contracts.

Since 2005, we have concentrated on Scottish Water’s Capital Investment Programmes, becoming a well-known Framework Contractor and Delivery Partner. Our consistent delivery of engineering solutions and installations has led to year-on-year growth, with Frameworks secured throughout Scotland.

In 2021, we established our Welding and Fabrication Division to support the needs of our mechanical projects. This division has seen extensive growth and investment, achieving BS EN 1090 certification, which allows us to provide fabrication solutions not only to the water sector but across various industries in the UK.

In 2023, through strategic acquisition, A&L Mechanical Installations Ltd secured an electrical framework with Scottish Water. This has enabled us to develop a fully operational electrical division, delivering electrical projects across the sector and gaining NIC-EIC accreditation.

In recent years, the business has continued to evolve and improve. In 2018, we implemented a revised business strategy that included restructuring, rebranding, and expanded marketing efforts. We acquired larger premises and made significant investments in the growth and development of the business. Our focused efforts to increase our presence throughout the UK and Ireland have been highly successful, resulting in award-winning recognition, accreditation, and an enhanced reputation within the Water Industry.
