BUILDING A SAFER FUTURE 

Backflow

A backflow prevention device protects your property and the community from contaminated water entering the potable (drinking) supply. These devices are mandatory in many commercial and industrial properties and must be tested annually by a certified professional.

At Hughes Plumbing Contractors, we:

• Test, service, and certify all types of testable backflow prevention devices

• Lodge all results with your local council

• Provide full documentation for compliance

• Replace or repair faulty valves and pipework
   

We are endorsed to work on all models, brands, and sizes — so no matter your system, you're in safe hands.

✅ Stay compliant and avoid costly fines.

Thermostatic Mixing Valve
TMV

A Thermostatic Mixing Valve (TMV) mixes hot and cold water to ensure safe delivery temperatures and reduce the risk of scalding injuries in workplaces, hospitals, schools, and aged care facilities.

We provide:

• Annual TMV testing and calibration in line with AS/NZS 4032

• Removal of scale, debris, and bacteria

• Repair or replacement of worn components

Our team ensures your TMVs are safe, accurate, and compliant — giving you peace of mind and protecting your staff or patients.
