RPZ testing services in Tameside

Tameside's combination of manufacturing sites, catering businesses and healthcare premises creates a steady need for RPZ valve testing and backflow prevention.

Industrial estates across Ashton-under-Lyne and surrounding areas commonly require annual RPZ compliance testing.

We test reduced pressure zone valves to confirm both check valves and the relief valve are operating within the required parameters, and we provide compliant documentation for your records. Testing is generally carried out annually, though the exact obligation depends on the installation, your water supplier and the relevant requirements that apply.
