Founded in 2017 by Ian Young, IY Commissioning Ltd has grown into one of the UK’s leading water treatment and commissioning specialists, working with some of the biggest names in the country’s water industry. The company provides a highly professional service including pressure testing, swabbing, chlorinating, and flushing to BS EN 805:200/WIS-04-01-03, and chlorination/de-chlorination to BS 8558 guidelines, with digital independent certification approved by all UK water companies.

Their partnership with AKAS Labs ensures safe and compliant water sampling by fully qualified lab technicians.
Behind IY Commissioning Ltd’s success is the drive and determination of its founder, Ian Young. After beginning his career in a call centre, Ian sought a change that would allow him to work outdoors and develop new skills. “An opportunity came up with a local firm, and while I was working with them, I was headhunted by another company,” Ian shared. “Realising I had a unique skill in this industry, I decided to take the risk and set up my own business. That’s when IY Commissioning was formed in 2017.”
“Here at IY Commissioning, our staff hold all relevant qualifications and are fully trained and competent in each specific job role,” Ian explained. “We hold team training days to keep morale high and give the whole staff a chance to engage with each other. The key to a successful business is having a loyal and trustworthy team, both on the field and in the office, who go above and beyond to meet the company’s needs.”
The company offers a wide range of services, including:
Despite the demanding nature of the industry, IY Commissioning Ltd remains committed to delivering a smooth, high-quality service. “Some of the daily challenges we face come when field operatives run into issues on site which can delay a job,” Ian said. “That’s when our office team gets straight onto the clients to resolve the issue as quickly as possible while still aiming to hit the original connection dates. In this industry, time is costly, and even the smallest mistake or delay can have a big impact — that’s why quality service from start to finish is so important to us.”
Receiving the Apex of Achievement Award marks an important milestone for IY Commissioning Ltd. Ian added:
“Winning this award keeps us motivated to continue operating the way we do — maintaining great relationships with our clients and helping them meet their targets within the timeframes provided.”
With a dedicated and experienced team, IY Commissioning Ltd continues to set the benchmark for excellence in water commissioning, combining technical precision with genuine care for clients and their projects.
