Installation of New Pipes

New pipe installation is one of the most important upgrades you can make to a property. Whether you are renovating an older home, fitting out a new build, or replacing worn pipework, correctly installed pipes protect your water quality, improve pressure, and reduce the risk of leaks behind walls and floors. A properly planned job also supports efficient bathrooms, kitchens, heating systems, and appliances for years to come.

Our team installs new water supply and waste pipes with careful attention to layout, access, and long term reliability. We work with homeowners, landlords, and businesses, coordinating around other trades and finishing schedules. From a single pipe run to a full repipe, we keep disruption low and deliver neat, compliant results.

When New Pipework Is the Right Choice

Pipe replacement is not always urgent, but there are clear signs that new installation is the safest and most cost effective route. If you are experiencing repeated leaks, discoloured water, weak flow, or visible corrosion, an upgrade can prevent ongoing damage and recurring callouts. Major refurbishments are also the ideal moment to modernise plumbing routes and move fixtures where you need them.

  • Ageing materials such as corroded metal pipes or brittle older plastics
  • Persistent leaks or patch repairs that keep returning
  • Low water pressure caused by internal buildup or undersized pipe runs
  • Renovations where walls and floors are open and access is available
  • Layout changes for new kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, or commercial fit outs

If you are unsure whether you need a partial upgrade or a complete repipe, we can assess the condition of existing lines and advise on the most sensible scope. You can also review our wider plumbing installation services for related work such as fixture connections and system updates.

Our Pipe Installation Process

Survey, planning, and clear quotations

Every job begins with a practical site review. We identify existing pipe routes, water entry points, drainage falls, and access panels. For renovations, we coordinate with your builder or tiler so pipework is installed at the right stage and in the right locations. We then provide a clear quotation covering labour, materials, and any required making good.

Materials and standards that match the property

We select pipe materials and fittings appropriate for the system and local requirements, including hot and cold supply lines and waste connections. Correct sizing, secure fixing, and proper isolation valves are essential for performance and future servicing. Our installers prioritise tidy routes, protected penetrations, and sensible access to key joints and shut offs.

Installation, pressure testing, and commissioning

During installation we isolate and drain systems safely, then run new pipework with careful attention to alignment and support. Once complete, we pressure test water lines and check drainage performance to reduce the chance of hidden leaks. Finally, we reconnect fixtures and appliances, verify flow rates, and confirm everything operates as intended.

Residential and Commercial Pipe Installation

Homes and businesses have different demands, and we tailor our approach accordingly. For domestic properties, we focus on reliable supply to bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, and garden taps, often while the household remains in the home. For commercial spaces, we plan around operating hours and compliance needs, including backflow protection where required and robust pipe routes for higher usage.

Whether it is a one off upgrade or a full fit out, our work integrates smoothly with broader professional plumbing services such as fixture installation, system alterations, and remedial repairs. If an inspection reveals damaged sections that must be addressed first, we can also guide you on the right sequencing to avoid rework.

What You Can Expect From Our Team

  • Careful workmanship with clean runs, secure fixings, and protected joints
  • Practical communication on access needs, shut off times, and next steps
  • Respect for your space including dust control and tidy cleanups
  • Reliable scheduling coordinated with other trades when needed
  • Safety first with proper isolation and testing before reactivation

Common Questions We Help You Decide

Do you need a full repipe or a targeted replacement

Many properties only need certain sections replaced, such as exposed runs, high risk joints, or lines serving renovated rooms. We look at pipe condition, accessibility, and how many failures have occurred to recommend the most cost effective path that still reduces long term risk.

Can pipework be moved to suit a new layout

Yes. New kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms often require rerouting of supply and waste lines. We plan routes to maintain good pressure and drainage while keeping service points accessible for future maintenance.

How long will installation take

Timeframes depend on the size of the property and whether walls and floors are already open. A single new run can be completed quickly, while full repipes may take multiple visits to coordinate first fix and final connections, testing, and finishing.

FAQ

How do I know if I need new pipes instead of another repair?

If leaks keep returning, water looks discoloured, or pressure is consistently low, replacement is often more reliable than repeated patching. We can inspect the pipe condition and advise whether a partial upgrade or full repipe makes sense.

Will my water need to be turned off during installation?

Yes, most installations require isolating the supply for safe work and clean connections. We schedule shut offs in advance and restore service as soon as testing is complete.

Do you pressure test new pipes before putting everything back?

We pressure test supply lines and check waste performance to confirm the system is sound before closing up. This helps catch issues early and reduces the risk of hidden leaks later.
