Commercial Plumbing Compliance Works

Commercial plumbing compliance works help bring your premises in line with relevant water and building requirements. The service focuses on identifying non-compliant items, completing the required plumbing repairs or upgrades, and leaving you with clear notes and evidence for your records.

More information

What commercial plumbing compliance works cover

Compliance works are practical, on-site plumbing tasks required to meet expected standards and pass inspections. The exact scope depends on your site, usage, and any issues raised by an audit or risk assessment.

Typical work can include:

  • Finding and rectifying leaks, failed fittings, and damaged pipework
  • Replacing or upgrading taps, WCs, urinals, and washroom fittings where needed
  • Installing or replacing isolation valves to improve control and safety
  • Backflow prevention upgrades where required by the installation layout
  • Thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) replacements or remedial adjustments where applicable
  • Alterations to hot and cold water distribution pipework to remove problem sections
  • Pressure and flow checks after remedial works
  • Safe isolation and reinstatement of supplies during works
  • Functional testing and commissioning checks on completion
  • Written job reports and photos where appropriate

When this service is most useful

This service is a good fit when you need certainty and traceability, not guesswork.

Common triggers include:

  • A failed inspection or facilities audit
  • Actions raised from a water hygiene or Legionella risk assessment that require plumbing changes
  • A new tenancy, refurbishment, or change of use
  • Ongoing complaints about hot water temperature, low pressure, or recurring leaks
  • Preparing documentation for insurers, landlords, or managing agents

How the work is delivered

You will normally start with a site visit or call to confirm the issue, access requirements, and any deadlines. You then receive a clear scope of works and a written quote before anything is booked in.

Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with isolation planned around your operating hours where possible. On completion, key points are tested, the area is left tidy, and a handover is provided so your team knows what has changed.

What happens after completion

You receive a clear summary of what was done, plus any follow-up actions to keep the system compliant and reliable. Where ongoing compliance depends on routine checks, you can agree a planned maintenance schedule to reduce future disruption and unexpected failures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does commercial plumbing compliance work include?
It covers plumbing repairs, upgrades, and remedial installations needed to meet relevant standards in a commercial property. The exact tasks depend on your system layout, usage, and any audit findings.
Can you work from an existing audit or risk assessment?
Yes. If you have an inspection report or risk assessment actions, the work can be scoped to address those points. If anything is unclear on site, it will be flagged before work proceeds.
Will you provide documentation after the work is completed?
Yes. You will receive a written summary of works completed, and photos where appropriate. This helps you keep a clear compliance record for internal checks, landlords, or insurers.
Can you carry out works outside business hours?
Where access allows, out-of-hours or low-impact scheduling can be arranged to reduce downtime. This is agreed in advance so isolations and reinstatement are managed safely.
How is pricing handled for compliance works?
You receive a written quote based on the agreed scope, including any assumptions about access and isolations. If additional issues are found on site, options and costs are explained before extra work is undertaken.
