Pipework

Pipe Installation & Repiping

New water supply and drainage pipework for renovations, extensions and ageing systems — planned, installed and pressure-tested.

Overview

Pipework That Is Planned, Not Patched

Old galvanised iron lines corrode from the inside, reducing pressure and discolouring water. Renovations move kitchens and bathrooms to new positions. Extensions need new supply and drainage runs. In each case, good pipework starts with planning — not with cutting into walls.

We map the existing system, agree the routes with you, and recommend suitable materials for each line: PPR or CPVC for hot and cold supply, uPVC for drainage, and proper transitions where new pipe meets old. Isolation valves are added at sensible points so future repairs do not mean shutting off the whole building.

Every new section is pressure-tested before walls or floors are closed, and we leave you with a simple record of where the main lines and valves run.
