Why regular maintenance matters

Proper upkeep of plumbing and gas systems helps prevent dangerous situations like gas leaks and water damage, keeps you compliant with health and safety regulations, and improves overall system performance. Working with us for regular inspections and maintenance reduces the risk of costly repairs and operational downtime.

Plumbing maintenance in commercial kitchens

Daily: check sinks, dishwashers and fixtures for visible leaks, and make sure drains are running clear.

Weekly: check and clean grease traps and interceptors, and verify water pressure is consistent.

Monthly: inspect pipes for signs of corrosion or wear, and flush water heaters to clear sediment.

Annually: a professional inspection to check hidden leaks, pipe integrity, and overall system health, plus testing that every fixture and connection is working correctly.

Our service plans offer routine maintenance and emergency support to keep plumbing systems in top shape, with regular inspections that catch issues before they become costly.

Gas system maintenance

Daily: verify gas appliances are working properly and check for unusual smells or leaks, and make sure burners and ovens ignite and run efficiently.

Weekly: inspect gas lines for wear or damage, and confirm gas valves are accessible and operational.

Monthly: test gas detectors and alarms, and clean appliance vents to prevent obstructions.

Annually: a professional gas inspection for leaks, pressure issues, and compliance, plus calibration of every gas appliance for optimal performance.

Our gas safety services include regular inspections, emergency repairs, and compliance checks — with service plans that bring routine maintenance and a prompt response to any gas-related issue.

Common issues and solutions

Clogged drains are best handled with regular cleaning and professional drain services as part of a maintenance plan, rather than waiting for a full blockage.

Leaking fixtures need addressing promptly to prevent water damage — our repair services cover swift fixes for leaks and other plumbing issues.

Gas leaks mean evacuating and contacting our emergency repair services immediately — we’re available for rapid response.

Inconsistent gas pressure needs a proper professional assessment and adjustment, which our service plans check for as a matter of course.
