If you would like to connect a large commercial property, please contact us. Typically these require pressure and flow test information for fire services designers to consider in their design and planning. Pressure and flow tests can be accessed via applications located on our Online Forms page.

If you would like to receive our services but your property is not fronted by a main, you will need to find out if your property is suitable for a mains extension.
