Plumbing
Plumbing and drainage installations: water supply networks, waste pipes and upgrades, integrated into the renovation.
What it involves
Good plumbing prevents future problems. We install or renew water supply and drainage networks using the right materials for each application, paying careful attention to waste pipes, water run-off and connection points. Drainage — waste pipes, soil stacks and the connection to the sewer — works on falls and deserves a considered technical approach; we coordinate it with bathroom and kitchen renovations and, where leaks or damp appear, with the associated treatment.

Frequently asked questions
- What plumbing work do you do?
- We install hot and cold water supply networks and handle all the drainage side — waste pipes, soil stacks and connection to the sewer — as well as replacing old pipework and connecting sanitaryware and appliances. We integrate this into bathroom and kitchen renovations or carry it out as a stand-alone service, and coordinate with the damp treatment when needed. The scope is defined for your case.
- Can you locate the source of a leak?
- We attempt to do so with the appropriate means, but we cannot guarantee an exact location without first inspecting the situation. Some leaks are obvious; others require investigation and may involve opening specific points. We first try to understand the case and then propose how to proceed.
- How often should pipework be renewed?
- There is no single rule: it depends on the materials, the condition and how the property has been used. In old houses with ageing pipes or recurring leaks, it is often worth considering renewal, especially if a renovation is already underway. We assess this case by case.
- Can water points be moved or extended during a renovation?
- Yes, this is common in bathroom and kitchen renovations. Moving soil stacks or water supply points involves more work than replacing taps, and it is worth planning for this at the start. We coordinate it with the rest of the works to avoid future problems.
- Is plumbing coordinated with other trades?
- Yes. It is usually linked to the masonry, the tiling and, in bathrooms and kitchens, the finishes. Coordinating it from the start avoids rework and helps deliver a clean, lasting result.
