Our commercial plumbing services

General preventive maintenance

The aim of our preventive maintenance service is to minimise sudden and unexpected plumbing problems needing an emergency plumber. The last thing you need is to run out of hot water in an aged care facility over winter, or to have the toilets stop flushing in a hotel!

Backflow testing – annual backflow testing is not only an Office of Technical Regulator requirement but essential to ensure you maintain safe drinking water throughout your premises. Backflow devices are designed to prevent “non potable water” from cross connecting into a “potable supply” ensuring you have safe and clean water for drinking, showering and washing.

TMV – A thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) is a device that mixes hot and cold water to a specified temperature to provide reliable and safe hot water to your property’s outlets. In Australia the Plumbing Code requires hot water to be stored at 60 °C to prevent growth of Legionella and other bacteria. But this temperature will cause hot water burns, so the TMV ensures water is delivered at a range of 35-50 °C meeting the standards for aged care facilities, early childhood and accessibility standards. As part of the Australian Standards it is a requirement to field test and service TMV’s on an annual basis to ensure safe working temperatures throughout your facility.

Other services we offer for preventive maintenance in commercial facilities include checking for leaks, servicing pumps, checking for corrosion, assessing water pressure and checking for blocked drains.

Office fit outs

The team at Ken Hall can provide all plumbing needed for an office and corporate environment. We work with the builder, facilities manager, body corporate or business owner to deliver commercial plumbing services for your office needs. We install sinks, kitchenettes, dishwashers as well as providing a full service to design and fit out new toilets or bathrooms.

Trade waste management

Trade waste is the untreated water from a commercial or industrial facility before it is permitted to be discharged into the sewerage system. It is a requirement that it be captured and pre-treated so only relatively clean water flows out to the government owned sewerage system.

This includes water used in labs, cooking and washing. In many cases, trade waste needs to be treated for harmful chemicals, bacteria or other substances before it goes down the drain to the sewer.

Our team has the expertise and experience to provide trade waste management services which may include grease arresters or acid neutralizers for retail food stores, medical and dental facilities, universities, schools and more.
