Building Services For High-Rise Residential Developments
High-rise residential buildings place significant demands on heating, cooling and water distribution systems. Long risers, changing static pressures and large communal systems all require careful product selection to maintain reliable flow and pressure throughout the building. VIP supplies valves, commissioning products, strainers and pressure-control equipment for residential plantrooms, risers and distribution systems. Our team can help contractors and consultants select suitable products for the pressures, temperatures and duties involved, including large-diameter plantroom valves where required.
Communal Heating & Safe Domestic Hot Water
Heating and hot water are fundamental to residential comfort, particularly in apartment blocks, build-to-rent developments and student accommodation where systems may serve hundreds of occupants.
VIP supplies products for communal heating and domestic water systems, including commissioning valves, WRAS-approved valves, thermostatic mixing valves and pressure-control valves. TMV2 and TMV3 approved mixing valves can help maintain safe outlet temperatures where controlled hot water is required, while commissioning products support balanced flow across larger heating and cooling systems.
Managing Pipework Movement in Residential Buildings
Tall buildings, long pipe runs and changing system temperatures can create significant movement within heating and hot-water pipework. If expansion is not properly considered, the resulting forces can place unnecessary stress on pipework, equipment and building connections. VIP supplies rubber bellows, metallic expansion joints, anchors and slide guides, supported by our specialist thermal expansion design service. Customer drawings can be reviewed to determine suitable expansion-joint locations together with the required anchor and guide positions. The service is provided free of charge and is backed by professional indemnity insurance, giving consultants and contractors additional technical assurance when dealing with more demanding residential pipework layouts.
Protecting Residential Heating & Cooling Systems
Maintaining good water quality can have a major impact on the reliability and efficiency of communal heating and cooling systems. Debris, magnetite and suspended contamination can contribute to blocked components, reduced heat transfer and unnecessary maintenance.
The BSP Filter Pot combines magnetic and fine filtration with chemical dosing and passive air removal in a single unit, helping protect boilers, heat exchangers, pumps, valves and other equipment. Alongside strainers and dosing products, it gives contractors and building operators practical options for protecting residential plant and maintaining cleaner closed-water systems.
Support From Design Through To Delivery
VIP works with consultants, contractors and project teams throughout the residential construction process. Alongside product selection and technical support, our growing BIM library provides downloadable product models for coordination and specification, helping key VIP products become easier to incorporate into residential designs before they reach site. With more than 40 years of building-services experience, stockholding in Manchester and London and support across valves, instrumentation, plumbing and expansion, VIP can help simplify procurement across a significant proportion of the mechanical package.
