Outdoor Pipework Replacement

What outdoor pipework replacement covers

External plumbing takes a lot of wear from cold snaps, UV, movement, and accidental knocks. Replacement focuses on removing failing sections and reinstating robust, properly supported pipework.

• Replace leaking, corroded, cracked, or frost-split external pipe sections
• Renew joints, fittings, and isolation valves where needed
• Upgrade to suitable modern materials for outdoor use
• Reroute or re-clip pipework to improve support and reduce strain on joints
• Add pipe insulation and weather protection where appropriate
• Test the system after installation to confirm soundness and function

When this service is most useful

• Visible corrosion, splitting, or recurring pinhole leaks on exposed pipework
• Drips or damp patches near external walls or along outdoor runs
• Low flow or unreliable supply to an outside tap
• Pipework that has frozen in previous winters
• You need a dependable supply to a garage, garden room, or small commercial unit

How the work is carried out

The work usually starts with a site check to confirm the pipe route, access, and the best replacement approach. The water supply is then isolated and the affected section is drained down before the old pipework is removed.

New pipework is installed with appropriate fittings, clips, and supports, then insulated where needed. Once complete, the system is refilled and tested so you can be confident it is watertight before the area is left tidy.

After the replacement

You will be shown any new isolation points and what has been replaced. If there are simple steps that will help prevent repeat issues, such as better lagging or protecting exposed sections, you will get clear, practical guidance on what to do next.
