Service overview
What should booster-set maintenance consider?
A booster set should be considered as part of the water-supply arrangement rather than as an isolated motor. A suitable scope identifies the pumps, controls, pressure vessels, valves, variable-speed drives, alarms, break tanks or storage interfaces, duty, redundancy and operating history relevant to the premises.

Relevant fittings connected to the public water supply must meet requirements intended to prevent contamination, waste, misuse and undue consumption. Certain work may require notification to the water undertaker.
HSE L8 and HSG274
Official sourceLegionnaires’ disease: hot and cold water systems
Maintenance of booster or transfer equipment may support water-system control, but it does not replace a suitable Legionella risk assessment, written control scheme or required monitoring.
Controls and drives
Official sourceElectricity at Work Regulations 1989
Electrical controls and drives must be maintained to prevent danger. Electrical diagnosis or alteration requires the correct competence and an agreed electrical scope.
Scope of service
A defined instruction, matched to the premises and duty.
Before appointment, we confirm the required output, available evidence, access limitations and the areas, systems or assets included in the instruction.

Fault investigation and repair-scope development
Upgrade, replacement and remote-monitoring coordination
Reporting output
A clear technical record for the dutyholder.
- Asset-referenced maintenance or inspection record
- Agreed observations and readings for the included components
- Defects, limitations and water-system interfaces requiring attention

How it works
From defined instruction to issued report.
- 01Confirm the system
Identify the set, controls, storage interface, system served and available records.
- 02Plan continuity
Agree isolations, interruption controls, working window and vulnerable-occupant considerations.
- 03Deliver the scope
Coordinate the agreed maintenance through an appropriate specialist route.
- 04Return the record
Issue findings, limitations and the next planned or corrective action.

Scope, duties and deliverables—set out clearly.
The correct service depends on the premises, systems, equipment, use and dutyholder position. These points are confirmed before appointment.
Request a scoped quotationDoes booster servicing count as Legionella compliance?
No. Reliable operation and maintenance may support the written control scheme, but they do not replace the risk assessment, named responsibilities, monitoring or corrective action required for water-hygiene control.
How often should a booster set be serviced?
There is no single statutory interval for every installation. The programme should reflect manufacturer information, duty, operating hours, environment, redundancy, condition, failure history and the consequence of loss of supply.
Can pressure vessels and controls be included?
They can be included where the exact components and checks are defined. Electrical work, vessel examination, water-quality activity or design verification may require distinct competence and a separate scope.
Can the service investigate low water pressure?
Yes, as a defined diagnostic scope. Low pressure can arise from demand, controls, valves, storage, pipework, supply conditions or pump performance, so the investigation should not assume the pump is the only cause.
Can several blocks use one maintenance programme?
Yes. A common asset and reporting structure can be used across a portfolio, while each building retains its own configuration, service history, access restrictions and findings.
