Water safety in North East
Industrial estates and multi-let units in the North East often sit partly vacant between tenancies, and unused outlets in empty units are a common source of stagnation risk.
Typical properties we work with in North East include industrial estates, offices, universities, social housing and coastal properties. Water supply in the region is generally soft to moderately soft.
