Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my house needs repiping?
Recurring pinholes in different places, persistent discoloured water from your own pipes (clears at the boundary), chronic pressure problems from undersized or furred supplies, and lead sections are the signals. A survey with cut-out samples settles it definitively.
Should I replace my lead water pipe?
Yes — health guidance is unambiguous on lead in drinking water, and replacement with MDPE typically improves flow substantially. Check your water company's lead-replacement support schemes; we handle the private-side work.
Copper or plastic for new pipework?
Both, deployed where each is strongest: copper for exposed, hot and mechanical-risk locations; barrier plastic for long concealed runs and fewer joints. Ideology is free; joints leak — fewer of them concealed is good engineering.
How disruptive is a full repipe?
Sequenced properly: liveable. Room-by-room working, water restored each evening, floors lifted once and relaid, zones pressure-tested before closing. The disruption sits in days-per-zone, not weeks of a dry house.
Why do my pipes bang when taps close?
Water hammer — moving water stopping abruptly, usually at quarter-turn taps and appliance solenoids. Fixes: arrestors, re-clipping loose runs, pressure adjustment. It's worth fixing; hammer fatigues joints.
Can you extend plumbing to a garden office?
Yes — buried MDPE at frost-safe depth, isolation at the house, and drainage arrangements assessed (foul connection or alternatives). Quoted from a route survey.
