Whether you operate a single-unit shop or manage a large estate with multiple buildings, our team has the equipment, workforce and expertise to handle your plumbing systems.
Which commercial plumbing services do you provide?
Our engineers cover the entire life-cycle of a plumbing system: • Design & installation of water, waste and gas pipework for new builds or refurbishments • Planned preventative maintenance (PPM) agreements • Drain unblocking and high-pressure jetting • CCTV drain and pipe surveys • Hot-water plant, calorifiers and commercial boilers • Backflow prevention and RPZ valve testing • Grease traps and interceptor servicing • Legionella risk assessments and remedial works • Water efficiency upgrades, sensor taps and flush valves • Certified gas safety inspections and landlord certificates
Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing cover for businesses in Whitwell?
Yes. Our dedicated commercial call-out line is manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We aim to have a fully equipped engineer on site within 1–2 hours of your call anywhere in Whitwell and the surrounding villages. Leaks, burst pipes, blocked drains or failed water heaters are prioritised to minimise disruption, and most emergencies are resolved on the first visit thanks to our well-stocked service vehicles.
How do you ensure minimal downtime for my business operations during repairs?
Before work begins, we carry out a detailed site assessment to understand your trading hours and critical services. Where possible we schedule intrusive works outside your peak times, provide temporary water supplies or bypass solutions, and isolate specific zones so the rest of your premises can continue trading safely. Our engineers arrive with pre-fabricated pipework and spares to speed up installation, and we use modern press-fit and crimp systems that remove the need for hot-works permits, reducing both time on site and health-and-safety paperwork.
Are your commercial plumbers fully qualified and insured?
Absolutely. Every engineer holds NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Plumbing & Heating, carries a valid CSCS card and is Gas Safe registered for commercial gas appliances. We are also members of the Chartered Institute of Plumbing & Heating Engineering (CIPHE). The company maintains £10 million public liability and £5 million employers’ liability insurance, giving you complete peace of mind on large-scale or high-risk projects.
Can you help bring my building’s plumbing up to current regulations and handle inspections?
Yes. We routinely carry out compliance audits against Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, BS EN 806, HSE Approved Code of Practice L8 (Legionella control) and the latest gas safety standards. After an initial survey we’ll provide a written report highlighting non-conformities, recommended remedial works and a costed action plan. Once upgrades are completed, we issue all relevant certificates, update your asset register and, if required, liaise with local authorities, building control or your insurance provider to demonstrate compliance.
