Commercial Plumbing Services

A commercial boiler is a pressurised system that uses a fuel source, such as natural gas, oil or electricity, to heat water that is used to provide heating and hot water in a commercial building. There are several different types of commercial boilers and some use the hot water itself while others generate steam.

Commercial plumbing deals with the plumbing needs of businesses and public spaces, such as care homes, GP surgeries and schools. Due to the nature of these premises, commercial plumbing is generally more complex in nature. There are also stricter regulations in place, which must be adhered to for the health and safety of occupants and the surrounding community.

Commercial plumbers work on large-scale plumbing systems, and they play an important role in the installation and maintenance of key safety features. This includes reviewing technical drawings and the installation solutions designed to meet commercial needs. Commercial plumbing services typically include:

• Boiler installation
• Pipework
• Waste management systems
• Sanitary facilities

All on a larger scale than domestic solutions.

The main difference between commercial and domestic plumbing is the scale of commercial plumbing solutions. This is a factor of both the size of commercial premises and the number of visitors they receive.

A house, for instance, may only cover a couple of floors, and as such, the amount of plumbing work required is limited. On the other hand, an office building requires a large and complex system of pipework, as well as specialised equipment, to cope with the extra demand. To help manage this, commercial plumbers may also work with a project manager to keep jobs running smoothly.

The consequence of downtime for a commercial plumbing system could prove highly disruptive. As such, many premises opt for ongoing maintenance checks to diagnose problems early in order to reduce their impact.

Servicing any boiler helps to stop breakdowns, save money on repairs and keep it running safely. With regular servicing, you can catch faults early and help to reduce their impact. This is especially important for businesses, where the consequences of a faulty boiler can be magnified by the disruption it causes to operations.

Boilers should be serviced yearly to keep them in good working condition. This also helps to protect their warranty in case of a breakdown. Most manufacturers require boilers to be serviced every 12 months, else they withdraw their coverage.

Commercial or public premises with heavy boiler usage may benefit from more frequent checks to ensure compliance with gas safety regulations. Check out our service plans if this is something you’re considering.
