Surrey is office country, and office machines need a different kind of attention from a busy cafe bar — they have to work unattended, all day, with nobody trained to nurse them. Our engineers are employed by us, CoffeeSafe accredited, and carry out PSSR boiler inspections.

Water in Surrey is hard to very hard — and it decides what goes wrong

Surrey is supplied by Thames Water, SES Water and Affinity Water depending on where you sit. Hardness across the area runs roughly 250–290 ppm, consistently hard. That one number drives almost everything about how a commercial machine ages here, which is why we test it on site rather than assume it.

Surrey sits largely on chalk and greensand. Filtration matters here for two reasons rather than one: it protects the boiler, and it protects the cup, because heavily mineralised water flattens extraction and makes good beans taste dull.

For unattended office machines we usually suggest a contract that includes the cleaning consumables as well as the visits. The commonest reason an office bean-to-cup fails early is simply that nobody was given the tablets or told when to use them.

On hard to very hard water in Surrey the bulk of a service visit goes on descaling, the boiler and element, and the fill probe and solenoids that scale takes out first. We specify Brita Purity filtration against your actual throughput rather than fitting the same cartridge everywhere.

The faults we actually see in Surrey

Surrey is office country, and office machines fail differently. The common calls are bean-to-cup brew units clogged because nobody ran the cleaning cycle, milk systems souring for the same reason, and scaled boilers on machines installed without a filter to save a hundred pounds.

The Surrey trade we work with

Surrey is office-heavy. Business parks around Woking, Guildford and Staines run bean-to-cup machines that must work unattended all day, and expectations on drink quality are high — these sites compete for staff on exactly this kind of detail.

Where we cover in Surrey

Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Redhill, Reigate, Dorking, Leatherhead, Camberley, Farnham, Godalming, Staines, Esher, Weybridge, Walton-on-Thames and Sutton, and the surrounding area.

Common questions about servicing in Surrey

How often should a machine be serviced in Surrey?
Annually as a minimum, and every six months on anything pulling serious volume. Water moves that: hard to very hard water in Surrey means scale management drives the interval.

Do I need a water filter in Surrey?
Yes. At roughly 250–290 ppm an unfiltered machine in Surrey will scale measurably within months, and scale damage is not covered by any manufacturer warranty.

Do you only service machines you supplied?
No — we work on most commercial makes across Surrey regardless of where they came from.
