Commercial Annual Maintenance Contracts in London
Unplanned plumbing issues don’t just cause inconvenience for businesses — they can mean lost trading time, compliance headaches, and unhappy tenants or customers. Our Commercial AMC gives London businesses, landlords and property managers a structured, proactive approach to plumbing and heating maintenance, with scheduled checks and priority support from a team that knows your premises.

Service Overview
Our AMC Services category covers maintenance contracts for both homes and businesses. This Commercial AMC page focuses on premises with higher usage, multiple units, or compliance obligations — typically offices, retail units, blocks of flats, or portfolios managed by landlords and developers.
Our wider AMC offering includes:
- Residential AMC – for individual homes and households
- PPM (Planned Preventive Maintenance) – structured, scheduled maintenance programmes often used as the backbone of larger commercial contracts
- AMC Pricing & Packages – compare what’s included across our maintenance plans
This page sets out what a Commercial AMC typically involves and who it’s designed for.
Scheduled Plumbing & Heating Inspections
What it is: Regular, planned inspections of plumbing and heating systems across your premises, carried out on a schedule that suits your business and minimises disruption.
Who needs it: Businesses, landlords and property managers who need to demonstrate ongoing maintenance for compliance purposes, or who simply want to avoid unexpected downtime caused by plumbing failures.
What’s included: Inspection of pipework, fixtures, water heating systems and drainage, with a written report after each visit. For premises with gas appliances, this includes checks carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers — see our Boiler & Water Heater Service page for what this typically involves.
Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM)
What it is: A structured maintenance programme that schedules checks and servicing in advance, based on the needs of your specific systems and premises, rather than responding only when something breaks.
Who needs it: Larger commercial premises, multi-site businesses, and landlords with multiple properties who need a consistent, documented approach to maintenance across their portfolio.
What’s included: A tailored maintenance schedule, regular servicing of plumbing and heating systems, documentation suitable for compliance records, and coordination across multiple visits or sites where required.
Priority Response for Business Premises
What it is: Faster response times for plumbing issues at contracted premises, recognising that downtime in a commercial setting can have a direct impact on operations, tenants, or customers.
Who needs it: Businesses that can’t afford to wait in a general queue when something goes wrong — retail units, offices, restaurants, managed residential blocks, and similar premises.
What’s included: Priority booking for callouts related to issues such as Burst Pipe Repair, Blocked Drain Clearance, or boiler breakdowns, with preferential rates depending on your package. For wider commercial plumbing needs beyond maintenance, see our Commercial Plumbing page.
Compliance-Focused Documentation
What it is: Clear, organised records of maintenance visits, inspections, and any gas safety checks carried out under your contract — useful for landlords, managing agents, and businesses with regulatory obligations.
Who needs it: Landlords managing multiple units, commercial property managers, and businesses that need to evidence a proactive approach to maintenance for insurance, lease, or regulatory purposes.
What’s included: Written reports following each visit, gas safety certification where applicable, and a maintenance history that builds up over the life of your contract — useful reference material if issues are ever queried by tenants, insurers, or regulators.
Why Professional Commercial Maintenance Matters
For commercial premises and rented residential units in the UK, plumbing and heating maintenance isn’t just good housekeeping — it ties directly into safety obligations and, in many cases, lease or insurance requirements. Gas appliances must be serviced by Gas Safe registered engineers, and landlords have ongoing responsibilities to keep let properties safe and well-maintained.
A structured AMC helps businesses and landlords stay ahead of these obligations, rather than scrambling to arrange checks reactively. It also reduces the risk of costly emergency repairs and unplanned downtime — a small leak caught during a scheduled inspection is far cheaper to fix than a burst pipe that floods a shop floor or a row of flats.
All work carried out under our commercial contracts is performed by appropriately qualified engineers, with gas-related work completed only by Gas Safe registered professionals. Full details of our credentials are available on our Licences & Certifications page.
Who We Work With
Our Commercial AMC is built for organisations and individuals managing premises beyond a single home:
- Commercial clients – offices, retail units, restaurants and similar premises wanting predictable, documented maintenance (see also Commercial Plumbing)
- Landlords – managing multiple rental properties who need consistent compliance support across their portfolio
- Developers – overseeing maintenance across newly completed or managed developments, particularly where New Build Plumbing systems need ongoing care
- Homeowners – individual households are better served by our Residential AMC plan

FAQs
What is included in a Commercial AMC?
Typically scheduled plumbing and heating inspections, planned preventive maintenance, compliance documentation, and priority response for issues that arise — exact inclusions vary by package, detailed on our AMC Pricing & Packages page.
Is a Commercial AMC suitable for a small business?
Yes — contracts can be scaled to suit anything from a single retail unit to a multi-site portfolio.
What’s the difference between Commercial AMC and PPM?
PPM refers to the structured, scheduled maintenance approach itself, while the Commercial AMC is the overall contract that typically includes PPM alongside priority response and compliance documentation. See our PPM page for more detail.
Do landlords with multiple properties need separate contracts for each one?
Not necessarily — we can often structure a single Commercial AMC to cover multiple properties or units, depending on your portfolio.
Does a Commercial AMC cover gas safety certification?
Where premises have gas appliances, our Gas Safe registered engineers can carry out the relevant checks and provide appropriate documentation as part of your contract.
What happens if there’s an emergency outside scheduled visits?
Your AMC gives you priority response, and our 24/7 Emergency Line remains available for urgent issues at any time.
How is a Commercial AMC priced?
Pricing depends on the size and complexity of your premises and the package you choose — see AMC Pricing & Packages for an overview, or get in touch for a tailored quote.
Can a Commercial AMC help with insurance or lease requirements?
The documentation and maintenance history generated through your AMC can support compliance with insurance policies or lease obligations, though you should confirm specific requirements with your insurer or landlord agreement.
