We install into new bathrooms and kitchens, re-pipe whole houses, and diagnose intermittent leaks. ### Who it's for Homeowners renovating a property, landlords upgrading tired pipework, and clients whose existing plumbing has failed intermittently for months and never been properly diagnosed. ### When you need it Old lead or galvanised pipework, low mains pressure, boiler upgrade needing a re-pipe, extension or loft conversion that changes supply routes, or a leak that no one has yet traced properly. ### Why professional matters Plumbing failures rarely announce themselves, they seep, stain and rot silently. The founder holds the City & Guilds plumbing qualification and prices the job to pass pressure tests, not just to look tidy behind a panel. The cost of getting it wrong ## What poor plumbing quietly costs you Bad plumbing doesn't fail on day one. It fails on day 200, inside a wall, into a joist, and shows up as a stain on the ceiling below. If ignored - Concealed leaks rot structure A weeping compression joint above a plaster ceiling can drip for months before it shows, by then joists and plasterwork are shot. - Low pressure across the house Undersized pipework or the wrong pressure-reducing valve means the shower dies whenever the kitchen tap runs. - Failed pressure tests at handover A first-fix that hasn't been pressure-tested to 6 bar is a leak waiting to happen once plastered in. - Boiler warranties voided Manufacturer warranties on new boilers require correctly sized pipework and a system flush. Cut corners here, warranty gone. Common mistakes - Using push-fit everywhere for speed Push-fit has its place, but overusing it in load-bearing runs or where copper is more appropriate is a false economy. - Skipping the pressure test The only way to guarantee first-fix pipework before it's covered up is a witnessed pressure test. If your installer skips this, walk away. - Mixing metals without transition fittings Copper directly onto galvanised steel corrodes at the joint. Correct dielectric fittings cost pennies and last decades.

Materials & methods ## Materials, methods & installations we deliver Plumbing is a materials job as much as a labour job. Getting the right pipe in the right run, sized correctly for pressure and flow, is what separates a system that lasts 30 years from one that fails at year 5. ### Materials we work with - Copper pipe with soldered and compression joints for structural runs - Push-fit (Hep2O / Speedfit) for accessible service runs - MDPE for underground mains supply - Correctly sized pressure-reducing valves and expansion vessels - Insulated pipework to Part L for hot supplies and boilers - Dielectric fittings for copper-to-steel transitions ### Methods & standards - 6-bar pressure test on first-fix pipework before covering up - Hot-water flow-rate testing at every outlet before handover - Boiler system flush to BS 7593 on install and appliance change - Correct pipe sizing calculations for combined-load demand - Gas Safe registered engineer for any gas or boiler works ### Variations of this service Whole-house re-pipe Full strip-out and replacement of failing lead / galvanised / plastic pipework, typically alongside a renovation.
