Plumbing pipework often brings visions of loud drilling, broken walls, and major inconvenience. But it doesn’t have to be that way. At Citywide Plumbers, we believe in quiet, clean, and efficient installation methods that don’t turn your home or business into a construction zone.
Whether it’s a bathroom refurbishment, kitchen upgrade, or full re-pipe, here are five expert methods we use to minimise disruption during plumbing installation across London.
1. Careful Planning and Pipe Mapping
Disruption often comes from improvisation. To avoid this, our process begins with a thorough property survey and layout planning. We trace existing pipe routes and select the most efficient paths for new pipework—often following voids behind walls, under floors, or in loft spaces.
By planning around your home’s structure, we avoid unnecessary cutting or surface damage, reducing mess and stress.
2. Use of Flexible Pipe Systems
Instead of rigid copper pipes that require bending, joints, and cutting into walls, we often use WRAS-approved flexible piping (like PEX) where appropriate. These pipes:
-
Thread easily through existing cavities
-
Reduce the number of joints
-
Minimise installation time
-
Lower the risk of leaks
Flexible systems are especially useful in retrofits, where we want to preserve décor and avoid wall chasing.
3. Non-Invasive Wall Access Techniques
Sometimes access is essential—but there’s a right way to do it. We use endoscopic cameras to inspect wall cavities before cutting, allowing us to pinpoint precise entry points. This prevents excessive wall damage and limits the area affected to the absolute minimum.
We also ensure any necessary repairs are finished cleanly and professionally.
4. Working in Stages, Room by Room
For occupied homes or businesses, we never tear everything up at once. Instead, we work systematically—room by room. This allows you to maintain access to at least one working bathroom or kitchen at all times, avoiding major disruption to your daily routine.
We also communicate clearly at every stage, letting you know what to expect.
5. Using Surface-Mounted Pipework (Where Suitable)
In certain settings like utility rooms, garages, or commercial units, we can use surface-mounted pipe systems. These run neatly along skirting boards or walls using modern plastic or chrome finishings. They:
-
Eliminate the need for cutting into walls
-
Allow fast future maintenance
-
Maintain a clean, industrial appearance
Our engineers ensure all visible pipes are aligned neatly and securely clipped—offering both function and form.
