A Devotion to Water Safety
WHC isn’t a generalist; we’re your water safety partner for the long term. Our Authorising Engineers know ACoP L8, HTM 04-01, NETB 2024/3, HSG 274, and Water Safety Plans inside out.
We follow the rulebook with care, then go further to make sure your water safety is not just compliant, but truly secure, because in any great partnership, going the extra mile matters.
Unwavering Loyalty - Your Needs Come First
At the Water Hygiene Centre, we believe true partnership means putting you first - always. Our advice is completely impartial because we never carry out water treatment, plumbing, or remedial works. That means no hidden agendas, no conflicts of interest, just pure dedication to your safety and success. Think of us as the partner who listens, understands, and acts only in your best interests, every single time.
A Partnership That Stands the Test of Time
Strong partnerships are built on trust and experience, and ours speaks for itself.

When things get complicated, we’re the steady, dependable partner you can always count on.
Your Trusted Safeguard - Always Here for You
An Authorising Engineer (Water) is more than a technical advisor; they are your dependable safeguard, quietly ensuring everything stays safe and compliant. At the Water Hygiene Centre, we take that responsibility to heart. We provide clear governance frameworks, robust assurance processes, and stand by your side during audits and reviews, including CQC, HSE, and internal checks. With WHC, you’ll always have a partner who cares about your safety and success, because trust is the foundation of everything we do together.
Training That Strengthens Our Partnership

By sharing knowledge, we strengthen your team and deepen the trust between us, ensuring your organisation is prepared for today and resilient for tomorrow.

Every strong partnership thrives on care and attention, and we love keeping you informed. At the Water Hygiene Centre, our thought leadership ensures you’re never left wondering what’s next. Our Authorising Engineers regularly publish blogs, academy videos, and useful resources, helping you stay prepared for emerging risks and regulatory changes. With the WHC, you’ll always feel supported and ahead of the curve.
A Partnership Built on Collaboration
The best relationships are built on working together, and that’s exactly how we approach water safety. At the Water Hygiene Centre, we collaborate closely with estates teams, infection prevention specialists, and leadership to create a culture where safety thrives. Our focus is on long-term resilience, not quick fixes, because lasting partnerships deserve lasting solutions. With the WHC, you’re never on your own - we’re always by your side, helping you achieve your goals.
