Plumbing

Business plumbing in Belgium

On a company site, plumbing is more than a single leaking tap. New build calls for sizing washroom blocks, simultaneous use peaks and a clear valve layout. Renovation or extension often runs beside live operations, with shared pipework that touches other floors or units.

Our approach

System first, then phases and handover

We start with contact and project type, assess capacity and shared circuits, agree price and phases, execute with short shut-offs and close with test and documentation for your internal follow-up.

  1. 01

    Site, contact and project type

    We go through access, safety rules and who decides on water shut-offs. We separate new build, extension and renovation in an occupied building so planning and risk stay realistic.

  2. 02

    Review installation and simultaneity

    We inspect washroom blocks, plant rooms, diameters and valves. Where needed we discuss simultaneous use at peak times and which circuits can close briefly without affecting the whole building.

  3. 03

    Phase plan

    After the technical finding you receive a proposal by phase: which zones first, which shared pipes to isolate and when tests are planned. Work starts after you agree that scope.

  4. 04

    Execution with targeted shut-offs

    Work zones are marked, shared circuits isolated for as short a time as possible and other trades aligned where needed. Materials suit intensive office or site use. Any lead pipe still on site is discussed separately: removal is advisable for health reasons.

  5. 05

    Test, handover and documentation

    We run pressure or tightness tests where the works require them, trial appliances and provide a handover note for your internal files. Where an EPB file or network operator applies, we align timing with your project lead.

Typical triggers

Why businesses call us in

On new build or extension, washroom blocks and plant rooms must evolve from the design stage. Too few valves, unclear routing or undersized pipework later brings pressure loss, queues or repeat faults at peak times.

Renovation in an occupied building needs different choices than an empty site: shared risers, compartments and facility rules decide when water may be shut off. Without a phase plan, floors stay too long without toilets or kitchenettes.

Repeat leaks, corrosion or worn materials may need targeted pipe replacement or gas line work alongside plumbing. Maintenance contracts or planned maintenance rounds help catch issues earlier, separate from emergency call-outs.

Signals for facilities

When a site visit makes sense

These signs show that coordination, system choices or phasing matter more than a quick patch.

  • Several floors without water at once or pressure loss at peak times.
  • Unknown or hard-to-reach valves in plant rooms.
  • Repeat leaks behind suspended ceilings or in shared shafts.
  • Planned extension, move or refit of washroom blocks.
  • Lead pipe or worn materials where removal is advised for health.
  • Facilities need one record of what changed after earlier works.

Before we start

What facilities can prepare

Short preparation speeds the finding and avoids closing a shared circuit while zones are still in use.

  1. 01

    Name a decision-making contact

    Tell us who handles access, badges and announcing water shut-offs, with reachable details.

  2. 02

    Share plans or sketches if available

    Technical drawings, as-built notes or a list of recent works help locate valves and routes faster.

  3. 03

    Describe project type and occupancy

    Say whether it is new build, renovation or a fault, which zones must stay open and whether other trades work in parallel.

  4. 04

    Note earlier faults or leaks

    Repeat symptoms on the same circuit often point to a structural item that belongs in the phase plan.

Clear pricing

What drives price on a company site

Our call-outs start from €72.60 incl. 21% VAT (non-residential premises).

Price depends on scope (new build, renovation or repair), number of washroom blocks, length of pipe runs, phasing and whether pressure or extra tests are needed. Shared risers and work outside office hours can affect execution; we state that in the proposal, not as surprises on site.

After an on-site finding the final price is agreed before work starts. Planned site projects are scheduled with facilities.

Benefits

  • One contact for planning with facilities or the site manager
  • System view: capacity, simultaneous use and shut-off strategy
  • Phased works so office or production areas can partly stay open
  • New build or renovation: scope and materials matched to intensive use
  • Pressure test and handover note of valves and changed routes

How much does business plumbing cost?

Our call-outs start from €72.60 incl. 21% VAT (non-residential premises). Price depends on scope (new build, renovation or repair), number of washroom blocks, length of pipe runs, phasing and whether pressure or extra tests are needed.

What is the difference between new build and renovation on site?

On new build we size from empty zones and plant rooms. In occupied renovation we isolate shared circuits briefly, work in phases and respect facility rules. Price and schedule follow that finding, not a one-size package.

How do you account for simultaneous use of washroom blocks?

We look at how many points must stay open at peak times and which diameters and valves fit. That way one shut-off does not take down the whole block. Major changes sit in the phase plan before execution.

Can works run in phases so the business stays open?

Yes, where the installation allows we progress zone by zone or floor by floor. You know in advance which blocks will be temporarily limited. Urgent faults are handled separately.

What is included in handover for facilities?

After relevant tests we walk your contact through what changed, where new or restored valves are and which follow-up helps. You receive a handover note for internal use. Formal third-party files sit with your project lead where that applies.

Do you run pressure tests after pipe works?

Where the works require it, we run pressure or tightness tests before releasing zones. The extent of testing depends on what was replaced or newly connected. That is in the proposal after the finding.

How quickly can you attend a fault on site?

Our line is available 24/7. We can be on site depending on the area and availability for a fault. We do not promise a fixed response time in hours; we give a realistic estimate after your description and the situation on site.

When should you call a plumber straight away?

Some signs are worth acting on straight away: a leak you cannot stop, water coming through a ceiling or a wall, a damp patch that keeps spreading, a sudden drop in pressure throughout the house, or water near a consumer unit or an electrical appliance. Close the main stop valve first: it limits the damage while the cause is being traced.
