Can you guarantee no supply interruption to a 24/7 home?

Yes. The physical supply is unchanged when you switch billing supplier. There is no interruption to heating, hot water, lifts, nurse-call or lighting.

Do you cover clinical waste compliance?

Yes. Fully compliant collections for clinical, offensive, sharps and pharmaceutical waste, with complete Duty of Care paperwork for every site.

Can you fix our budget for the financial year?

Yes. Fixed-price contracts give your finance team certainty for budgeting against the care fee cycle, removing wholesale market exposure.

Will you audit our historic water bills?

Yes, on a contingent basis. We commonly find credits on incorrect meter sizing, RV-based estimates and surface-water rebates.

Do you work with both single homes and groups?

Yes, from family-run single homes to national operators with hundreds of sites.

Why care home utility bills have become a board-level issue

Care fee increases have not kept pace with the rise in wholesale gas and electricity. A typical 40-bed home now spends meaningfully more on heating, hot water and laundry than it did three years ago, while local authority and self-funded fees have moved much less. Add 24/7 lighting, nurse-call systems, lifts, kitchen loads and full compliance on clinical waste, and utility spend becomes one of the biggest controllable lines on the P&L.

Where we find savings on a typical care home

We tender business gas and electricity on full landed cost and structure contracts to give your finance team price certainty for the financial year. We audit business water for historic credits and leak allowances. We tender clinical, offensive and general waste together for one compliant, transparent collection schedule, and we benchmark connectivity (broadband, phones, nurse-call backhaul) so the home runs reliably without overpaying.

Built for single homes, regional groups and national operators

Our team understands CQC expectations and the reliability standards that residential and nursing care demand. We procure utility contracts that prioritise safety and budget certainty alongside cost.
