Plumbing for renovations in Palencia

In plumbing, whatever fails is always behind a wall that was just closed up. That is why we pressure-test the installation before anything is covered.

Water supply, waste runs and sanitaryware, pressure-tested before closing up.

First-fix plumbing before closing up: hot and cold supply pipes clipped into chases, isolating valves and PVC waste runs

We renew hot and cold water runs in multilayer or polypropylene pipe, with isolating valves per room so a future repair does not mean shutting off water to the whole home. Diameters are sized so pressure does not drop when two taps are opened at once.

Waste is a question of falls and access. We resolve stacks, traps and branches at the correct fall and leave accessible inspection points, avoiding the smells and blockages that appear when a route is improvised.

We install and connect sanitaryware, taps, shower trays and screens, coordinated with the tiling so that pipe penetrations land on a joint rather than in the middle of a tile. Before anything is closed up, the installation is pressure-tested.

What the work includes

  • Renewal of hot and cold water distribution
  • Main and per-room isolating valves
  • Waste runs, stacks, traps and inspection points
  • Installation of sanitaryware and taps
  • Shower trays, screens and bath-to-shower conversions
  • Pressure testing of the installation before closing up
Benefits
  • Installation pressure-tested before the walls are closed up
  • Per-room isolating valves, so repairs don't shut off the whole home
  • Stable flow and pressure with several outlets running
  • Waste runs at the correct fall with accessible inspection points
  • Coordinated with the tiling for clean finished details

Frequently asked questions

Does the whole house water supply have to be shut off for a repair?
Not if the installation has isolating valves per room. We fit them precisely so a future repair does not mean shutting off the water to the whole property, in addition to the main stopcock.
Why does pressure drop when two taps are opened at once?
Usually because of undersized pipework. When we renew hot and cold supplies in multilayer or polypropylene we size the diameters so flow and pressure stay stable with several outlets open.
Is the installation tested before the walls are closed up?
Yes. The installation is pressure-tested before anything is closed up. It is the only way to find a leak while it is still accessible, rather than behind finished tiling.
Can a bath be replaced with a shower tray?
Yes, it is one of the most common jobs we do. We install shower trays and screens and connect the taps, coordinated with the tiling so pipe penetrations land on a joint rather than in the middle of a tile.
