Summer Isn’t Just Downtime — It’s a Smart Time to Act
For many organisations, summer offers a rare window of opportunity. With reduced occupancy, more flexible access, and fewer operational pressures, it’s the ideal season to take on essential building maintenance, especially when it comes to reactive and remedial works.
At SMS Environmental, we know these works are often overdue but vital. Taking action during the quieter summer months means fewer disruptions, faster turnaround, and improved compliance with water safety regulations.
What Are Remedial Works — and Why Act Now?
Remedial works are corrective actions taken when water hygiene issues, plumbing faults, or system non-compliances are identified. These are often picked up during legionella risk assessments or routine monitoring, and may include:
-
Dead leg removal and pipework alterations
-
Thermostatic mixing valve
(TMV) replacements -
Cylinder and calorifier maintenance
-
Tank and valve replacements
-
Hot and cold water system
reconfigurations
Left unaddressed, these issues can escalate — leading to safety risks, non-compliance with regulations like ACoP L8 and BS8558, and unplanned downtime or emergency call-outs during peak operational periods.
Summer: Low Disruption, High Impact
Summer creates the ideal conditions for tackling remedial works, allowing organisations to:
-
Benefit from easier access and faster project completion
-
Avoid disruption to core business activities
-
Ensure systems are safe and compliant before audits or inspections
-
Reduce the risk of urgent, reactive repairs later in the year
Whether you manage offices, industrial sites, residential properties, or public buildings, now is the time to plan smart and get ahead.
