Leicester at a glance
A major centre
Leicester has a diversified commercial base including manufacturing, logistics, higher education and a substantial public sector. We service offices and industrial sites across the city and into the surrounding East Midlands towns.
Scheduled Leicestershire route visits from Watford. Leicestershire is at the further reach of our routes, so servicing and repairs are booked onto scheduled route visits rather than same-day call-outs.
Aquathirst supplies and services workplace water systems, coffee machines and vending across the South East and the Midlands from our Watford yard. We have offices in Leicester as part of our regular Leicestershire routes. The local commercial mix includes manufacturing and logistics, higher education, public sector employers across the main business districts.
Services in Leicester
What we supply to Leicester businesses
Mains-fed water coolers for Leicester offices
Plumbed-in coolers and dispensers connected to the cold mains, with multi-stage filtration changed on the six-monthly service. The default for city-centre offices in the Leicester Business District and the business parks, because there are no bottles to store, order or run out of between route visits.
Office water coolers explained →Bottled water coolers and delivery
Bottle-fed coolers with 19-litre bottles for Leicester sites where plumbing is not practical: short-lease units, listed buildings, temporary welfare cabins. Because Leicester deliveries run on a scheduled route, we agree the delivery rhythm and a sensible buffer stock at survey so you are not counting bottles.
How office water delivery works →Office water boilers, boiling water machines and dispenser taps
Wall-mount and countertop water boilers for canteens and tea points, under-sink boiling water taps and 4-in-1 dispenser taps for office kitchens. Sizing depends on headcount and how many people break at once, which matters on shift-pattern sites. We have a dedicated Leicester page for hot water.
Office water boilers in Leicester →Factory and warehouse water coolers
Floor-standing mains-fed coolers in canteens and welfare areas, tougher units near production and loading areas, and capacity sized for shift changeovers rather than an office nine-to-five. Relevant to the manufacturing and logistics employers around the city and out along the M1 and M69.
Water for manufacturing sites →Installation, servicing and sanitisation
Every rental includes installation, filter changes, six-monthly service with sanitisation, and breakdown cover with no per-callout charge. Service records are kept per unit, which helps if your site is audited on workplace drinking-water hygiene.
Workplace water hygiene guide →Business water supply contracts
One contract, one invoice and one account contact for coolers, hot water and coffee, whether that is a single Leicester office or several sites across Leicestershire and the rest of our service area.
Business water supplier contracts →How Leicester is served
Scheduled routes, own engineers, no call centre
Aquathirst is run from Watford. Leicester sits at the further reach of our routes, so Leicester accounts are looked after on scheduled Leicestershire route visits rather than same-day call-outs. We are upfront about that because it shapes the right equipment choice.
In practice it favours mains-fed equipment, which has no bottle stock to run down between visits, and it means filters, servicing and sanitisation are planned onto route days in advance. If something breaks, the call goes to our own team and the repair is booked onto the earliest Leicestershire route day. Your visit frequency is confirmed in writing at survey.
Leicester sites
What we typically specify across Leicester
Leicester has a broad commercial base, and the right setup depends more on the type of site than on the postcode.
- City-centre offices in the Leicester Business District: compact mains-fed coolers or a 4-in-1 tap where the kitchen is small.
- Business parks such as Meridian and Watermead: floor-standing mains-fed coolers plus a water boiler or boiling tap in shared kitchens.
- Manufacturing, distribution and warehouse sites: canteen coolers and boilers sized for shift breaks, with robust units in welfare areas.
- Higher-education, public-sector and healthcare buildings: hygiene-led specification, scheduled sanitisation and service records per unit.

Mains-fed water coolers
Plumbed-in coolers and 4-in-1 taps for chilled, ambient, sparkling and hot filtered water from the mains. The most common pick for Leicester offices with accessible plumbing. Multi-stage carbon and scale-reduction filter, changed every six months on scheduled service.
Bottle-fed water coolers
British spring water in 19-litre bottles, delivered on a schedule that suits usage. For Leicester sites where mains plumbing is not practical (heritage buildings, short-lease space, mezzanine offices).
Office water boilers and 4-in-1 boiling taps in Leicester
A commercial boiling water tap replaces the office kettle entirely. Single-action 100°C dispenser with a child-safe lock, delivered to your under-sink area and plumbed in by our own engineer. For a full 4-in-1 setup we combine boiling with chilled, ambient and sparkling. The neatest single-fixture solution for a Leicester office kitchen.

Why local matters in Leicester
An engineer within reach, not a helpdesk queue
We are family-run from Watford, with our own engineers on regular Leicestershire routes. When a cooler breaks or a boiling tap starts leaking, the call goes to our own team, not to a national ticket queue. Leicestershire is at the further reach of our routes, so the repair is booked onto the earliest scheduled route visit rather than attended the same day.
Aquathirst handles every install and every callout with our own directly employed engineers. We do not subcontract. When you compare suppliers for Leicester, it is worth asking who will actually attend your site.
Frequently asked
Leicester office water. The questions we get most
Do you supply water coolers to factories and warehouses in Leicester?
Yes. Alongside offices, we supply mains-fed and bottled water coolers and water boilers to manufacturing, distribution and warehouse sites in and around Leicester. For shift-pattern sites we size equipment for the number of people on a break at the same time, not just total headcount, and position units in canteens and welfare areas.
Is mains-fed or bottled better for a Leicester office?
For most Leicester offices with a cold-water supply near the kitchen, mains-fed is the better fit: no bottles to store or reorder, filtered water on demand and one fixed monthly rental. Bottled coolers suit sites where plumbing is not practical, such as short-lease units or temporary welfare cabins, with deliveries agreed on a set schedule.
How are Leicester sites serviced, and what happens if a cooler breaks?
Leicester is at the further reach of our routes, so service runs on scheduled Leicestershire route visits rather than same-day call-outs. Filter changes, six-monthly servicing and sanitisation are planned onto those visits. Breakdowns are reported to our own team and the repair is booked onto the earliest route day. There are no per-callout charges.
Do you install office water boilers and water dispenser taps in Leicester?
Yes. We install wall-mount and countertop water boilers, under-sink boiling water taps and 4-in-1 dispenser taps (boiling, chilled, ambient and sparkling) for Leicester workplaces. Our Leicester office water boilers page covers sizing, siting and what installation needs.
Do you have an office or depot in Leicester?
No. Aquathirst is a family-run business based in Watford. Leicester accounts are installed and serviced by our own directly employed engineers travelling on scheduled Leicestershire routes. We do not subcontract installation or servicing.
Which areas around Leicester do you cover?
Leicester city (LE1 to LE5) and the surrounding towns including Wigston, Oadby, Loughborough, Hinckley, Coalville, Market Harborough and Melton Mowbray. The Leicestershire county page lists every town we cover.
What is included in a Leicester water cooler rental?
Equipment, installation, filter changes, six-monthly service with sanitisation and breakdown cover, on a fixed monthly rental with no per-callout charges. We quote per site after a free survey, because the right spec depends on plumbing, headcount and how the site is used.
