Water Coolers & Filtered Taps in Nottingham

Vida Water installs and services plumbed-in water coolers, boiling and chilled taps, hot water boilers and drinking fountains for Nottingham organisations, from offices in the Lace Market to life-science buildings, healthcare sites and university campuses.

Lichfield to Nottingham: about 42 miles

From Lichfield, the A38 runs north-east to Derby and the A52 carries on to Nottingham. It is roughly 42 miles, usually around an hour. For Beeston and the west side of the city, including the business parks near the M1, the journey is shorter. Derby is on the way, so sites in both cities can share one visit.

Every system we fit is mains-fed: no bottle deliveries to schedule and no storage to find. We also service and sanitise equipment that other suppliers installed, so everything can sit on one agreement. Most Nottingham enquiries start with a free site survey, where we check your water supply, space and headcount and recommend the right equipment.

Drinking water where people need it

Nottingham has a lot of organisations where water is part of the building's basic duty, not a perk: healthcare, two large universities, laboratories, and busy public-facing venues. Under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations, employers must provide an adequate supply of wholesome drinking water that is readily accessible. Our article on drinking water at work and UK law explains what that means in practice.

Placement is the part people get wrong. In a large building, water points belong on the routes people already use, such as corridors, break-out areas and near stairwells, not in one kitchen at the far end of a floor. Plumbed-in fountains and taps run from the mains, so there are no bottles to deliver, store or lift, which matters in clinical and lab buildings where storage space is scarce.

Nottingham is supplied by Severn Trent and hardness varies across the city. We check your postcode at the survey and specify filters to suit. For hot water units, that can mean a scale-reduction filter rather than the carbon filter used on cold machines.

Nottingham questions

Are we legally required to provide drinking water?

Employers must provide an adequate supply of wholesome, readily accessible drinking water. A plumbed-in system is one of the simplest ways to meet that without bottle deliveries. See our guide to drinking water at work and UK law.

Can you fit water points across a large or multi-storey building?

Yes. We survey the building, look at how people move through it and recommend positions on each floor.

Do you cover Derby as well?

Yes. Derby is on our route to Nottingham, and sites in both cities can be covered on one agreement.

Can we lease rather than buy?

Yes. You can buy outright or lease on a managed monthly agreement, with servicing and filter changes included.
