Service overview
Plumbing installations by a qualified engineer, not a handyman
What it is
First-fix and second-fix plumbing covering hot and cold supply, waste and soil, appliance connections, pressure testing, and coordination with gas and heating works. 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
