Pipe Replacement & Relining for Properties

The biggest, least popular project a housing association takes on — made predictable, with a weekly board report.

Background

Why we do it this way

These projects rarely fail on technical grounds — they fail on communication. That's why we work to a fixed per-flat schedule, with a weekly report to the board. You should never have to ask how it's going.

What we take on

Survey and assessment

Camera survey and condition report for the board's decision.

Costing and financing

Estimates per flat and stairwell, ready for the bank.

Resident communication

Info meetings, a per-flat schedule, one dedicated contact.

Traditional pipe replacement

New water and drain risers, often with a bathroom refit.

Relining

Where pipes allow it: no demolition, less time, lower cost.

Inspection and warranty

Independent inspection, per-flat documentation, ten-year warranty.

The process

From first call to finished job

Survey

A camera survey and condition report for the annual meeting.

Planning

Technical solution, schedule and fixed price — agreed up front.

Execution

One stairwell at a time. Weekly reports, one contact for residents.

Handover

Inspection, documentation, and a ten-year warranty.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions about pipe replacement & relining

It comes down to pipe condition, not budget. Relining is cheaper and less disruptive, but needs enough wall thickness left. We survey first and say plainly if it won't hold thirty more years.

Four to six weeks per flat for traditional replacement, with temporary shower and toilet cabins provided. Relining is two to three days.

£9,000–£15,000 for traditional replacement with a new bathroom, £3,800–£6,500 for relining — depending on the building's age and finishes. Fixed price after survey.

Advance written notice, one reschedule with no fuss, then a list handed to the board to act on per the association's rules. We never enter without consent.
