Care Home Plumbing Services in Newcastle
Commercial Boiler Cover UK provides specialist care home plumbing services throughout Newcastle and the surrounding area. Our qualified engineers understand the specific regulatory requirements that apply to water systems in care environments — from Legionella risk management under HSE Approved Code of Practice L8 to thermostatic mixing valve servicing under the TMV3 scheme.
Care homes in Newcastle must maintain hot water at 60°C to prevent Legionella growth and deliver it safely via TMVs at a maximum of 43°C at showers and 41°C at baths. Our Newcastle engineers carry out the full range of water hygiene and plumbing maintenance services to keep your system compliant and your residents safe.
Legionella Risk Assessments for Newcastle Care Homes
Legionella is a serious risk in care home water systems. Elderly residents and those with underlying health conditions face significantly higher mortality rates if they contract Legionnaires' disease. Our Newcastle engineers carry out comprehensive Legionella risk assessments in accordance with HSE L8 and HTM 04-01, providing the written risk assessment and control scheme that CQC inspectors look for.
In addition to Legionella risk assessments, we provide ongoing water hygiene monitoring for Newcastle care homes — including temperature checks, flushing regimes for little-used outlets, showerhead descaling, and written records. This keeps your water system compliant year-round, not just at the point of inspection.
