The Bearded Property Co provides commercial plumbing and gas engineering across Ealing and West London, including planned maintenance contracts, HMO compliance work and CP12 gas safety certification for landlords and managing agents. Recent projects include an 18 shower room upgrade across a Paddington HMO completed with tenants in residence, and a new Gas Safe certified gas supply line installed for a franchise restaurant in Uxbridge within a two day programme. Work is scheduled outside normal trading hours where required, and every job is backed by public liability insurance and a written scope of works agreed before anything starts.
Ealing has one of the densest concentrations of licensed HMOs in West London, with large Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Ealing Broadway, Mattock Lane and the streets off Uxbridge Road converted into multi-let accommodation decades ago. Many of these properties still run on shared risers and communal hot water systems that were never designed for the number of occupants now using them, which means plumbing and gas work has to be planned around licensing ratios, fire safe partition lines and drainage capacity, not just the fix in front of you.
Along the Uxbridge Road and Ealing Broadway retail corridor, restaurants, cafes and takeaways need commercial catering gas installations certified under CP17, alongside the ongoing CP12 checks that fall to the freeholder or leaseholder above. Further out towards Greenford and Southall, light industrial units and community buildings often carry ageing communal plant rooms that were installed decades ago and are now due for replacement rather than another repair.
The Bearded Property Co is based on Uxbridge Road in Ealing W5, so this commercial and HMO landscape is our daily working environment rather than an occasional job. We assess licensing, drainage capacity and gas supply constraints on site before any quote is issued.
Every commercial project is managed end to end with a single point of contact, a written scope of works and a programme agreed before anything starts.

Plumbing and gas work sequenced room by room to keep licensed HMOs occupied and compliant.

New commercial gas supply lines and catering appliance installation, certified under Gas Safe regulations.

Annual servicing and full plant room replacement for blocks, HMOs and shared community buildings.

Scheduled plumbing and gas maintenance contracts for landlords and managing agents with multiple properties.

New boiler and heating installations sized correctly for HMOs, blocks of flats and commercial premises.
Commercial and HMO work is not the same job as a single domestic repair, scaled up. It starts with understanding how the property is licensed, how many facilities are required per occupant, and how the gas and water supply is split between units. On a multi-let property this often means tracing shared risers back to source before a single valve is touched, so an isolation for one unit does not accidentally cut supply to another.
Once the layout is understood, work is sequenced to minimise disruption, whether that means one HMO shower room out of use at a time or a restaurant kitchen scheduled for a morning before opening. Every commercial job is backed by a written scope of works, and gas work is always certified under Gas Safe regulations with the appropriate CP12 or CP17 documentation issued on completion.
Every commercial or HMO project follows the same four stage process. Nothing starts until you have a written quote and a programme you have agreed to.
Contact us on 020 8050 9389 or WhatsApp. Describe the property, the licensing status and the scope required.
We attend the property, review the riser layout, gas supply and licensing requirements, and provide a written quote with a programme.
Our engineers carry out the agreed works in sequence, whether room by room, unit by unit or scheduled around trading hours.
On completion you receive a written handover report, any CP12 or CP17 certification required, and ongoing maintenance options.
These are real completed projects from across our West London coverage area, showing the same compliance and sequencing standard we bring to every commercial and HMO job in Ealing.

Managing plumbing and gas compliance across a single HMO is demanding enough. Managing it across a portfolio of properties, each with its own licensing renewal date, gas safety expiry and maintenance history, is a different problem, and it is the one The Bearded Property Co is built to solve. We work with landlords, freeholders and managing agents across Ealing and West London who need a single contractor that understands compliance deadlines as well as the trade itself.
For portfolio landlords, we set up a planned maintenance schedule that tracks CP12 and CP17 renewal dates, servicing intervals and any outstanding remedial works across every property, so nothing lapses unnoticed. For HMOs specifically, we sequence bathroom, kitchen and gas appliance work room by room or floor by floor, reducing void periods and keeping rental income flowing while the licensing standard is met or exceeded.
We can be added to an approved contractor list, work directly with your managing agent on instruction and reporting, and provide documentation in the format required for insurance, licensing or freeholder purposes. Every visit, whether an emergency call out or a scheduled service, is logged and reported back.
Some commercial and HMO sites need more than a standard repair or install. Converting a mixed use building where ground floor commercial premises sit beneath residential flats requires the gas and water supply to each use class to be fully separated and independently isolable, something that is often missing in older converted properties. We have carried out supply separation work across Ealing and West London so each unit can be worked on or shut off without affecting the others.
Listed or conservation area buildings used for commercial purposes bring an additional layer of consent for any works that affect the external elevation or original fabric, even where the plumbing and gas work itself is entirely internal. We coordinate this alongside the trade work rather than treating it as a separate problem for the client to solve. Change of use conversions, such as a residential building being adapted into a small HMO or a shop unit converted for food use, also need the plumbing and gas infrastructure reassessed against the new use before any certification can be issued.

Every commercial project is delivered against a written programme with a single point of contact who understands both the trade and the compliance requirement behind it. We are based on Uxbridge Road in Ealing W5, so this is our home ground for commercial and HMO work, not an area we drive out to occasionally.
Three projects that show this in practice. We installed 18 new shower rooms across an HMO on Westbourne Terrace in Paddington W2, sequenced over a six week phased programme with tenants in residence throughout. We installed 12 new ensuite shower rooms across three floors of a student hostel in Holborn EC1 within a four week programme. And we completed a full plant room replacement for a community centre on Uxbridge Road in Ealing W5, replacing infrastructure dating back to the 1960s.

Answers to the most common questions from landlords, managing agents and commercial operators across Ealing and the surrounding areas.
Commercial plumbing and gas work covers any plumbing, heating or gas installation carried out in a non-domestic setting or a licensed HMO, including restaurants, offices, shops, community buildings and multi-let residential blocks. It includes commercial gas supply installation, communal heating plant rooms, CP12 and CP17 gas safety certification, and planned maintenance contracts for landlords and managing agents.
Yes. The Bearded Property Co is Gas Safe registered and issues CP12 landlord gas safety records for residential rental properties and HMOs across Ealing and West London, along with the associated safety checks on every gas appliance and flue at the property.
Yes. Commercial plumbing and gas work is scheduled around a business's trading hours where required, including early morning, evening or weekend slots, so operations are not disrupted. This is agreed as part of the written programme before work begins.
Yes. Landlords and managing agents with a portfolio of properties, or a single large site such as an HMO or block of flats, can set up a planned preventative maintenance contract covering scheduled servicing, gas safety renewals and priority response for reported faults.
Commercial catering gas appliances must be installed and certified by a Gas Safe registered engineer holding the relevant commercial catering qualification, with a CP17 gas safety certificate issued on completion. This covers cookers, fryers, grills and any new gas supply line feeding the kitchen.
Work is sequenced room by room or facility by facility so only one bathroom, kitchen or shower room is out of use at any time, keeping the rest of the property occupied throughout. This approach was used across an 18 shower room upgrade at an HMO on Westbourne Terrace in Paddington W2, completed over a six week phased programme with tenants in residence.
Yes. The Bearded Property Co works directly with managing agents and letting agents across Ealing and West London, and can be added to an approved contractor list, with reporting and documentation supplied in the format an agent or freeholder requires.
A new commercial gas supply line involves assessing the required capacity for the appliances being fed, running and pressure testing new pipework, and certifying the installation under Gas Safe regulations. A recent example is a new dedicated gas supply line installed for a franchise restaurant in Uxbridge, completed and certified within a two day programme.
Yes. Communal heating plant rooms serving blocks of flats, HMOs or shared buildings should be serviced annually to maintain efficiency and safety, and older plant rooms often need components replaced as they reach the end of their working life. The Bearded Property Co completed a full plant room replacement for a community centre on Uxbridge Road in Ealing W5, replacing infrastructure dating back to the 1960s.
Yes. The Bearded Property Co carries public liability insurance covering commercial, HMO and multi-occupancy plumbing and gas work, and insurance documentation is provided to managing agents or freeholders on request.
