Water Sub-Metering
Cold water mechanical meters, pulsed-output registers, riser cupboard work and tenant branch identification.
Reading, Berkshire ยท Founded 2010
Water and gas sub-metering for buildings where the shared bill has stopped being fair.
Quarter Metering specifies, supplies and installs tenant-level water and gas meters for landlords, block managers, HMO operators and small commercial estates.
Gas Sub-Metering
Diaphragm sub-meters installed only with safe isolation, testable pipework and clear certification scope.
Meter Schedules
Serial numbers, flow direction, label references, photographs and tenant allocation in one usable record.
Handover Packs
Commissioning sheets and reading access notes that a managing agent can still understand in two years.
Where the money goes wrong
One incoming supply, six different arguments.
Shared supplies become expensive when an annex, workshop, shop unit, HMO room cluster or converted flat has no accountable reading. The problem is rarely the meter itself. It is the missing proof that a specific pipe serves a specific tenancy.
Quarter Metering works where fairness depends on measuring the right branch, leaving it readable, labelling it correctly and giving the landlord a schedule that survives staff changes, voids and future disputes.
The direct promise
Measured pipe. Labelled meter. Photographed serial number. Tenant allocation table.
No soft funnel, no vague maintenance package and no attempt to sell smart disconnection systems. If the building needs accountable consumption by unit, the work is specified, installed, recorded and handed over.

Martin keeps a spare roll of 12 mm black-on-yellow Brother tape in the van because the plant room at a Caversham conversion taught him never to trust site labels.
