We appreciate how Nant share Velway’s approach to service delivery as well as a company ethos that is aligned with ours. Over the years we have built a mutually dependable service partnership, delivering water management across all property sectors nationally for multiple clients. Robin Harris, Managing Director at Velway Limited

I can recommend Nant as an excellent contractor for water management. Their service is efficient and cost-effect, but above all else, they deliver high standards or customer service and ensure that customer’s needs are met by delivering a flexible approach to the service they provide. Eco FM

We have been working with Nant for 12 Months and have found them to be a reliable company with a very usable compliance portal. Whilst moving to their portal they delivered a seamless transition with a series of webinars and ‘mop up’ calls to ensure all onsite are aware of their responsibilities. The Gym Group

Nant Ltd worked with Quantum Care to remove the risk of these bacteria through extensive surveys and monitoring programmes. This resulted in the removal of a vast number of Dead ends, dead legs, removing excessive water storage and other causes of water stagnation, and upgrading cold water tanks with lids, lagging, overflow screens, etc. They even worked with Quantum care heat engineers to cure hot water and heating temperatures problems. Quantum Care

Nant Ltd has become our tried & tested contractor that we fall back to when others cannot deliver. In our line of business (caring for the elderly, infirm and those that need specialist care) we need a contractor that can deliver 24x7x365 – Nant Ltd meet those needs. Care UK

I have worked with other legionella contractors, but it is Nant that I feel most confident with. Their prices are comparable to other companies, but the service has always been far more dependable and standard of product is excellent. FitzRoy
