TMV servicing for the places that need it most

Every building's different. A hospital ward, a primary school and a hotel all have TMVs, but who uses them, how often and when we can get in varies a lot. Here's how we approach each one.

Care homes

Care home residents are among the people most at risk from hot water. Some can't feel heat properly, some can't move away quickly, and some can't tell you something's wrong. That's why assisted baths, en-suite showers and basins in residents' rooms usually need TMV3 valves, tested regularly.

We work room by room, fit around care routines and keep disruption to residents to a minimum. You get clear records you can show inspectors.

  • Assisted baths and shower rooms
  • En-suites and residents' basins
  • Six-monthly or annual testing
  • Records ready for inspection

NHS & private healthcare

Hospitals, clinics, GP surgeries and private healthcare providers work to HTM 04-01. That means TMV3 valves, commissioning records, in-service testing at set intervals and results your water safety group can rely on.

We fit in with ward access rules and infection control requirements, and report in a format that drops straight into your water safety plan.

  • In-service testing in line with HTM 04-01
  • Ward-by-ward scheduling
  • Results for your water safety group
  • Repairs and cartridge swaps on the spot

Schools & nurseries

Young children have thinner skin and scald faster than adults. Nursery washrooms, early years areas, SEN facilities and changing rooms all commonly have TMVs, and they need checking like any other.

We plan visits around the school calendar. Half terms and holidays are ideal, and we can combine the visit with getting the water system back into use after a long break.

  • Pupil washrooms and nursery areas
  • SEN and medical rooms
  • Holiday and half-term visits
  • Multi-site trusts on one schedule

Social housing

Sheltered, extra care and supported housing often have TMVs in flats and communal bathrooms. Getting access to individual homes takes organising, so we work with your housing officers and keep tenants informed.

A clear asset register across your stock makes it much easier to see what's been done and what's outstanding.

  • Sheltered and supported schemes
  • Communal bathrooms and flats
  • Access arranged with your team
  • Stock-wide asset registers

Hotels

Guests expect a shower that's hot, steady and safe. Thermostatic showers and bath valves in guest rooms drift and scale up like any other, and a temperature surge is the last thing you want on a review site.

We work around occupancy, servicing empty rooms first, so you don't lose bookable rooms.

  • Guest room showers and baths
  • Spa and pool changing areas
  • Visits planned around occupancy
  • Room-by-room records

Offices

Office TMVs tend to be out of sight and out of mind: under washroom basins, in accessible toilets and in cycle-to-work showers. With quieter floors, they can also sit unused for long spells, which isn't good for the valve or for Legionella control.

We find them, log them and put them on a sensible schedule, often alongside your other water hygiene tasks.

  • Washrooms and accessible WCs
  • Staff showers
  • Out-of-hours visits if needed
  • Records for your facilities team

Leisure

Leisure centre and gym showers get heavy use, and banks of showers fed from one TMV are common. When that valve drifts, everyone notices. Limescale is often the culprit.

We service early in the morning or late in the evening to keep changing rooms open, and we'll flag group-mixing arrangements that would be better split up.

  • Changing room shower banks
  • Accessible and family changing
  • Early or late visits
  • Descaling in hard water areas
