Testing & Commissioning
Commissioning, witnessing, water treatment, chlorination, Legionella risk assessments and full QA handover documentation.
A system isn’t finished until it’s proven — witnessed, documented, handed over.
RMS commissions all services delivered as part of any given package and fully demonstrates them to the client team.
What the client receives is a system that demonstrably works and the documentation to run it: certificates, record drawings, O&Ms and trained estates staff — a handover that stands up to scrutiny on day one and audit years later.
Testing & handover scope we deliver
A representative — not exhaustive — list. We commission our own installations and provide testing, validation and handover services on systems installed by others.
Commissioning services
Point-by-point demonstrations with the client’s representatives — every sequence proven, every result recorded.
Performance measured against design — flows, temperatures, pressures and controls sequences, documented in full.
Proportional balancing of air and water systems so every terminal gets its design duty — no starved ends, no waste.
Flushing, dosing, chlorination and sampling to recognised standards, with certificated results at handover.
Legionella risk assessments supported by hygiene-led design, temperature regimes and monitoring points.
Record drawings, O&M manuals, certificates and estates training — a complete, usable handover pack.
Proven before handover.
One verified process, shared across every service.
All enquiries are assessed and reviewed against current workload and capabilities, ensuring a swift commitment response.
From stage 2 onwards, RMS leads, develops, peer-reviews or coordinates design according to the appointment.
Work is self-delivered and uses approved subcontractors or partners depending on project location, size and scope of works.
RMS commission all services that are delivered as part of any given package. Fully demonstrated to the client team.
Full asset register, O&M documentation, seasonal visits if required.
Approved proof

Ask a question →Your representative — client, consultant or clerk of works — watches each system demonstrated against its design criteria: flows, temperatures, sequences and safeties. Results are recorded point by point and signed off, so there’s no ambiguity about what was proven.
Yes — testing, balancing, validation and handover documentation on existing or third-party installations, including estates looking to re-baseline a building that never quite performed.
Flushing, treatment, chlorination and sampling are delivered to recognised standards with certificated lab results — and the temperature and monitoring regime is set up to support the building’s ongoing Legionella management.
A full asset register, O&M documentation and seasonal visits if required, supported by the commissioning records for the delivered package.
Yes — commissionability is a design property. Valve positions, test points, access and controls sequences all get decided months before commissioning week, which is why our commissioning engineers review the design, not just the finished install.
