As an independent water regulations specialist, we make sure your installation meets Northumbrian Water's requirements and that your records stand up to inspection.

Pricing

What affects RPZ valve prices in North Shields

We keep pricing honest and transparent. The cost of testing or installing an RPZ valve depends on a few straightforward factors.

Number of valves

Most sites have one or two RPZ valves. Testing several on a single visit lowers the cost per valve.

Access and condition

Valves that are easy to reach and in good condition test quickly. Poor access or a valve that needs cleaning takes longer.

Location

Sites across North Shields town centre, the fish quay and surrounding North Tyneside communities are all within our standard coverage.

Documentation required

Compliant test records for your water supplier and insurer are included with every test we carry out.

No hidden charges

We quote before any work begins. Testing includes compliant documentation, and if a valve fails we explain why and quote for the repair before proceeding. Send us your North Shields postcode and the number of valves for an accurate price.
