The building stock in Vangaži is made up of apartment blocks, detached houses and areas of industrial heritage. We work across all of these.
Vangaži is a small town of industrial origin, with apartment building stock, detached houses and wooded surroundings. Its economy and access are shaped by the A2 road and the railway.
For water meter work this means that most properties are apartment buildings with predictable meter assemblies, while at the same time there are private houses and technical premises with situations all of their own.
Apartment building stock. In standard-design blocks the meters sit next to the riser, and the assemblies are similar to one another. The most common additional problem is an old shut-off valve, which in practice is worth replacing at the same time.
Areas of industrial heritage. In former production premises the metering may have been built to a different logic than in residential stock. In properties like these a survey before the work is essential.
Detached houses and wooded areas. In private houses the assembly may be in a utility room or outside the house. In wooded surroundings properties tend to be more spread out, and access depends on the local roads.
Proximity to the Gauja basin. Being close to water bodies means that in parts of the area the groundwater level is higher, and for assemblies located in basements that means a greater moisture load.
Residents of apartment buildings. The majority of requests; standard-design blocks with uniform meter assemblies.
Detached house owners. Individual situations in more wooded surroundings.
Representatives of former production premises. Properties where the metering was built to a different logic.
Property managers. Building-wide projects.
In Vangaži the service mainly covers apartment building stock, but also private houses and former production premises.
For properties where metering has not been fitted yet, or was built to a different logic.
The seal and the replacement certificate to submit to your property manager.
You fill in the form and tell us what type of property it is. If you know the shut-off valve is old, do mention it.
We reply and agree on a time for the work. Visits to Vangaži are usually planned together with other jobs along the A2.
We replace the meter and check the valve. If the valve does not close, we tell you before going any further.
We seal the meter and prepare the replacement certificate for your property manager.
In the apartment building stock of Vangaži the assemblies are similar to one another, and the work usually goes quickly. The most common unforeseen factor is a shut-off valve that has not been turned since the building was handed over — it may not close fully, in which case replacing the meter also means replacing the valve. If you know the valve is old or does not work, mention it in your request so that we can come prepared.
In Vangaži the most common question is about the shut-off valve. In apartment buildings where the valve has not been turned since the building was handed over, it often no longer closes fully. That is not an obstacle, but it does mean the valve has to be replaced along with the meter — and that is something to know in advance rather than discover halfway through the job.
The second question concerns who is responsible for the meter in an apartment building. In practice the arrangements are set by your building's property manager, and they can vary. We carry out the work and prepare the documents; on the form in which they have to be submitted, your property manager will give you the most precise answer.
Owners of former production premises often ask whether we can work with an unusual meter assembly. We can, but in properties like these we carry out a survey first — the metering there tends to have been built to an entirely different logic than in residential stock.
In the apartment building stock of Vangaži the assemblies are similar to one another, and that makes the work predictable. The one complication we run into regularly is a shut-off valve that has not been turned since the building was put into service. If it does not close fully, replacing the meter also means replacing the valve — and it is better to know that before the work than to discover it midway.
In private houses and the more wooded areas the situation is more individual. The assembly may be in a utility room or outside the house, and access depends on the local roads, particularly in spring.
In former production premises the metering tends to have been built to an entirely different logic than in residential stock — with larger-diameter pipes and an unusual assembly layout. In properties like these a survey is essential, because without one neither the price nor the timing can be stated.
In Vangaži we work with apartment building property managers and with businesses. For building-wide projects we prepare a schedule and consolidated documentation. How building-wide work is run is described in the section for property managers.
Near Vangaži we also work in these places — often on the same visit.
