Planned Maintenance, Fewer Emergencies
Our plumbing maintenance service covers everything needed to keep a property's plumbing system in good working order: annual inspections, leak detection, water pressure testing, drain cleaning, water heater servicing, tap and valve checks, toilet inspections and pipe condition reports. We offer maintenance programmes for both residential properties and commercial premises, with the scope and frequency of visits matched to the size and age of the system.
A maintenance visit involves a systematic check of all accessible plumbing, starting with the water supply and working through the hot water system, visible pipework, fixtures and drainage. We use leak detection equipment to check for hidden drips that waste water and cause damage to floors and walls over time. Anything we find is reported clearly, and we provide a quote for any remedial work before touching anything.

Protect Your Property, Control Costs
Preventive maintenance is nearly always cheaper than emergency repair. A slow drip under a sink, left for six months, can cause enough damage to floors and cabinets to cost far more than a year of maintenance visits. Our plumbers have been working on residential and commercial properties since 2006 and are fully insured with public liability cover. All work is quoted upfront and there are no hidden charges.
The most common concern we hear about maintenance contracts is whether they're actually worth it for a property without obvious problems. The honest answer is that most plumbing issues start invisibly: a slow leak behind a wall, a pressure drop that signals a developing fault, a small crack in a pipe joint. Regular inspection is how you find them before they become expensive. Get in touch to talk through what a maintenance programme would look like for your property.
What a Maintenance Visit Includes
Each maintenance visit is tailored to the property, but the core checks stay consistent: water pressure throughout the system, the condition and operation of the hot water cylinder or boiler connections, all visible pipework for signs of corrosion or leaks, and all accessible fixtures including taps, toilets and washing machine connections.
- Water pressure testing throughout the system
- Leak detection on visible and accessible pipework
- Hot water cylinder and connection inspection
- Tap and valve operation check and lubrication where needed
- Toilet cistern and flush mechanism inspection
- Drain flow check and cleaning where build-up is found
- Washing machine and dishwasher connection inspection
- Written report with any issues noted and remedial quotes provided

Customer Reviews
Plumbing Maintenance FAQs
For most homes, an annual plumbing inspection is sufficient to catch developing problems before they cause damage. Older properties or those with known plumbing issues may benefit from twice-yearly checks.
Yes. We design maintenance schedules for commercial premises based on the size of the property, the nature of the business and the plumbing systems involved. Restaurants and hotels typically need more frequent attention than office buildings.
We report it to you clearly and provide a quote for any repair work before touching anything. You decide whether to proceed with the repair on the same visit or schedule it separately.
Yes. Small leaks that go undetected waste significant amounts of water over time. Finding and fixing them as part of a maintenance visit reduces waste and lowers bills. We use leak detection equipment to identify drips that aren't visible to the naked eye.
Yes. We carry out maintenance visits on apartments as well as houses and commercial properties. For apartment buildings, we can also arrange a programme that covers the common areas and individual units in a single coordinated visit schedule.
