Plumbing works in Dubai

Most plumbing in a home is hidden in walls, floors and ceilings, and it is covered by tiles and joinery that are expensive to remove. That is why plumbing has to be right before finishes go on, and why a renovation is the best time to deal with it. When a kitchen or bathroom is being opened up anyway, replacing old pipes, correcting drain falls and adding the points you will need later costs far less than coming back after the new tiles are laid. Our plumbing works are planned with the rest of the renovation, so pipe routes are already in the 3D design before the walls are closed.

Homeowners usually call about one of these. Each one has a cause that has to be found before it can be fixed properly.

• Low water pressureIn a villa this often comes down to the pump, the tank or pipework that is undersized or partly blocked.
• Leaks and damp patchesWater stains on a ceiling below a bathroom, or swollen skirting next to a kitchen, often mean a leaking joint or failed waterproofing.
• Slow or smelly drainsUsually a drain laid without enough fall, a blockage, or a missing or dried-out trap.
• Hot water that takes too longLong pipe runs between the heater and the tap, which can be shortened by moving or adding a heater.
• A new layoutA kitchen island with a sink, a second basin, a laundry room or a new bathroom all need new supply and drainage.

• How many fittings are added, replaced or moved
• How far drainage has to run, and whether floors must be opened
• Access: open walls during a renovation, or breaking into finished areas
• Condition of the existing pipework
• Equipment such as water heaters and pumps
• Making good the finishes afterwards
