Case Study: Supporting a Managing Agent Across London
A London-based managing agent responsible for several blocks of flats approached us for help with ongoing drainage issues across their portfolio. Problems included recurring blockages, foul smells in communal corridors and ageing drainage in older buildings.
We agreed a programme of works including CCTV surveys, cleaning, lining and targeted repairs. By tackling underlying defects and setting up planned maintenance on problem sites, we helped to reduce emergency call-outs and improve tenant satisfaction.
Case Study: Restaurant & Office Drainage in Central London
In a mixed-use building with a restaurant at ground level and offices above, both occupiers were experiencing drainage issues at different times of day. Our engineers investigated, carried out CCTV surveys and identified shared pipework with scale build-up and partial collapses.
We planned and carried out repairs and lining during quieter periods, coordinating with both the restaurant and office tenants to minimise disruption. The result was a more reliable drainage system and fewer complaints for the managing agent.
