Minor Pipework Installation

What minor pipework installation covers

Minor changes to pipework can make the difference between a straightforward fixture swap and ongoing leaks or poor performance. This service typically includes:

• Isolating the relevant hot and cold supplies safely
• Removing redundant pipework and preparing sound connection points
• Installing short runs of pipe in copper or plastic (as suitable)
• Adding or replacing isolation valves where helpful for future maintenance
• Making correct connections to the fixture or appliance feed
• Securing pipework with appropriate clips and supports
• Leak testing and checking operation before leaving

When this service is the right fit

This is a good option if you are planning non-emergency plumbing work such as:

• Replacing a basin tap or kitchen mixer where pipe positions need adjusting
• Swapping a toilet or vanity unit and the feeds do not line up
• Connecting a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge water feed or outdoor tap
• Tidying awkward or ageing connections to reduce the risk of future leaks
• Adding accessible isolation valves to simplify future repairs

How the work is delivered

The job is planned around your fixture and existing layout. Supplies are isolated, pipework is measured and cut accurately, then fittings are installed and tightened to the correct standard. Once connected, the system is brought back up carefully and checked for leaks and proper flow.

After the installation

You will have a working connection that is easy to access and maintain. If any follow-on work is advisable, such as replacing a stiff valve or improving access to the stopcock, you will be told clearly so you can decide what to do next.
