Commercial plumbers for offices, blocks, gyms, churches and shops
Offices
Staff toilets, tea points and the pipework behind them, with desks in use around the work.
Blocks of flats
Shared pipes and leaks that cross between flats. When a leak reaches the managing agent or freeholder, the job is to find the source while they arrange access to every flat affected. The resident's side is on our plumbers in Lewisham page.
Gyms
Changing rooms and showers in daily use.
Churches
Toilets and kitchens in churches and their halls.
Shops
Staff toilets and the sinks behind the shop floor.
This page is written for facility managers, managing agents, freeholders, councils and housing associations. Painting and repairs in the shared parts of blocks are on our social housing contractors page.
Plumbing in an occupied building: shut-offs, legionella and toilets
Most commercial plumbing repair means turning the water off somewhere people still need it. With isolating valves, the supply can often be shut off to one washroom or floor instead of the whole building; without them, the shut-off is agreed in advance.
The water system also brings duties. As an employer or someone in control of premises, landlords included, you must identify and assess sources of legionella risk, manage, prevent or control any risks, and keep and maintain the correct records (HSE's legionella guidance).
That risk assessment is yours, not part of a plumbing repair, but pipework changes can affect it. HSE's guidance on hot and cold water systems includes removing dead ends (pipes where water sits still) and keeping pipe runs as short as possible.
In most workplaces, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require suitable and sufficient toilets and washing facilities at readily accessible places, the washing facilities with clean hot and cold, or warm, water.
HSE's code of practice for workplaces says there should be enough toilets and washing facilities for everyone at work to use them without unreasonable delay.

Frequently asked questions
Call 020 8249 7303
Do you take on plumbing in blocks of flats for managing agents?
Yes. We repair shared supply and waste pipes and leaks that run from one flat to another; the managing agent or freeholder arranges access to each flat affected. Our own team then repairs and repaints the ceilings and walls the water marked.
Who is responsible for legionella in a commercial building?
The employer, or whoever is in control of the premises, such as a landlord: HSE says they have a duty to understand and manage legionella risks. Every system needs a risk assessment, but a simple one may show the risks are low and being properly managed.
How many toilets does a workplace need?
In most workplaces where men and women both work, HSE's code of practice gives a minimum of one toilet and one washbasin for up to 5 workers likely to be there at any one time, rising to five of each for 76 to 100. More may be needed if breaks are taken at set times.
Why do some washroom and leak repairs cost more?
Mostly the number of fittings involved, how easy the pipework is to reach behind panels, in ducts or above ceilings, whether the water can be turned off locally, and how much ceiling or wall needs making good afterwards. The visit to see it is free.
