Isolate Utilities
We help clients manage the risks and costs of live utilities on vacant properties with safe disconnection, isolation, and ongoing management. This service is suited to properties where live services create safety hazards, attract trespass, or add unnecessary expense during void periods.
What This Service Covers
Safe disconnection and isolation of utilities to reduce risks, costs, and liabilities on vacant properties.
Reduced safety risks
Live utilities are a common source of hazards on vacant sites.
Lower ongoing costs
Disconnecting or isolating utilities can save money during void periods.
Less trespass attraction
Live services can attract unauthorised access and occupation.
Insurance compliance
Proper isolation supports void property insurance conditions and reduces the risk of voidance.
Reduced liability exposure
Removing live services limits the risk of injury, damage, and third-party claims on an unoccupied site.
Clear documentation
Records of isolation work support audit trails, lender reporting, and future reconnection.
Included in Scope
- Safe disconnection and isolation of gas, electricity, water, and other utilities
- Ongoing management of live services where complete disconnection is not possible or practical
- Support for utility reconnection when the property is reoccupied or works begin
- Advice on utility management strategies to balance safety, cost, and operational needs

Our Process
How We Deliver It
Assess the property
We review the property's utility setup, safety risks, and operational needs.
This helps us determine which utilities can be safely disconnected, which need isolation, and where ongoing management is required.
Implement the solution
We carry out the necessary disconnections, isolations, and safety measures.
All work is done in line with safety standards and regulatory requirements to ensure the property is secure and compliant.
Manage ongoing needs
We provide support for any live utilities that remain and manage reconnection when needed.
That includes regular checks, coordination with utility providers, and advice on managing costs and risks during the vacancy period.
