A bathroom or kitchen refurbishment in a Maida Vale apartment needs a clear picture of its water and hot-water arrangement. PEP reviews the services available to the home before finalising new connections. A private system and a building with shared provision can call for different project boundaries. We ask for the relevant information early so the proposed fixtures and room positions can be considered against the actual installation.
01
Identify shared connections and access
Risers, isolation points and waste connections may sit outside the rooms being renovated. The scope should explain which parts are included and where access needs to be arranged through the owner or building management. We coordinate those requirements with the project team before first fix. Inside the apartment, serviceable connections should remain accessible once cabinets, tiled enclosures and finishes are complete.
02
Fit the plumbing to the refurbishment programme
We work from confirmed fixture specifications and dimensions, agreeing installation stages with the builder. The proposal identifies new pipework, retained services and final connections, with responsibilities for surrounding finishes stated clearly. Any water interruption must be considered against the supply arrangement and household needs. At completion, the agreed connections are checked and the owner can be shown the relevant access and isolation points within the installation.

Your questions
Planning the work
Can you work on plumbing connected to a shared riser?
We assess the relevant arrangement and define the proposed private scope. Access and any work affecting shared parts need to be coordinated with the responsible party before scheduling.
Should shower specifications be chosen before checking the water supply?
The products and available supply should be reviewed together. Confirming their requirements early helps avoid selecting a fitting that does not suit the proposed installation.
