More information

What the service covers

A compliance check is a targeted visit focused on safety, condition, and documentation. It is designed for heating systems in workplaces and managed buildings.

  • Visual inspection of boilers, plant rooms, pipework, pumps, valves, controls, and safety devices
  • Checks for signs of leaks, corrosion, overheating, poor ventilation, or flue issues
  • Functional checks of key controls and protective cut-outs where accessible
  • Review of system operation, set points, and obvious efficiency losses
  • Identification of defects, non-conformities, and maintenance priorities
  • Written report with actions ranked by risk and urgency
  • Optional planned maintenance (PPM) scheduling and remedial works planning

When this service is most useful

  • You manage an office, retail unit, or mixed use building and need documented checks
  • You are a landlord or facilities contact responsible for safe, reliable heat and hot water
  • Your system has had repeated faults, call outs, or fluctuating temperatures
  • You are preparing for an insurer visit, internal audit, or compliance review
  • You want predictable maintenance instead of reactive repairs

How the checks are delivered

After a brief discussion of site access, operating hours, and known issues, the engineer completes a structured inspection and any agreed tests. Findings are recorded as the visit progresses, with clear notes on what is compliant, what needs attention, and what should be monitored. If urgent issues are found, you will be informed straight away with immediate safety advice.

What happens after the visit

You receive a concise report you can file for compliance purposes and use to brief stakeholders. Where remedial work is needed, you can request a scoped plan that prioritises safety first, then reliability and efficiency. For ongoing cover, the checks can be folded into a PPM schedule with agreed visit frequency and consistent reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a commercial heating compliance check include?
It typically includes a structured inspection of heating plant, associated controls, and visible distribution pipework, plus functional checks where safe and accessible. You will receive a written report outlining findings and prioritised actions.
How often should commercial heating compliance checks be carried out?
Frequency depends on the type of building, equipment usage, and your risk profile. Many sites align checks with planned maintenance visits, with additional reviews after faults, alterations, or periods of downtime.
Will I receive documentation for compliance records and audits?
Yes, you will get a clear report that records what was checked, what was found, and what actions are recommended. If specific certificates or statutory tests are required, these can be discussed and arranged as part of the scope.
Can the checks be carried out with minimal disruption to occupants?
In most cases, yes. Access planning is agreed in advance, and any shutdown requirements are confirmed before work starts so you can notify staff or tenants appropriately.
