If you are managing trades yourself, we will keep you in the loop about what needs to happen next and what must be ready before we arrive.
Rough in and fit off done properly
Plumbing on a build is not just one visit. Timing matters and it must align with your slab, framing, wall lining and tiling schedule.
Rough in stage is where the groundwork is done. We install pipework and set outs before walls go up and before surfaces are finished. Getting this right helps avoid delays and costly rework later.
Fit off stage, everything comes together, and you can see the finished product. We install and connect fixtures like taps, toilets, basins, showers and appliances. We test the system, check performance and make sure everything is working as it should.
Help with planning and set out
Owner builders often want extra confidence that layouts will work in real life. We can assist with practical set out guidance so you avoid common issues like awkward tap placement, poor drainage falls or tight clearances.
We can help you think through:
- Fixture positioning and clearances
- Water pressure and flow needs
- Hot water system sizing and placement
- Outdoor taps and garden plumbing needs
- Future proofing for additions or upgrades
Simple decisions early can save time and money later.
Renovations and Extensions for Owner Builders
If you are adding a bathroom, updating a kitchen or extending your home, we can manage the plumbing changes and make sure the new work ties into the existing system cleanly.
We can assist with:
- Removal and capping of old pipework
- Relocating water and waste points
- Upgrading ageing pipework, repairing burst pipes or replacing fittings
- Installing new fixtures and appliances
- Hot water upgrades to suit increased demand
We will tell you what is possible, what is practical and what will keep the job moving.
