What the work typically involves
- Provide sketch layouts or mark-up photos showing proposed fixture positions.
- We survey existing pipework, note structural limits and agree alteration routes.
- First-stage alterations are done while access is open; pressure tests run before boarding.
- Second-stage connections completed when tiles, units and radiators are ready.
- Final checks confirm leaks, falls and heating flow before sign-off.
Repair or replacement?
