Replace (or alter) Pipework

Any work carried out on your domestic plumbing pipework must cause any detrimental effect on the overall quality of the water that flows through the pipes. Companies, consumers and any individual who install water fittings and work on plumbing systems are bound by The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and the Water Industry act 1991.

Hornsey Plumbers obey the rules set out in the current regulations. We strongly recommend that you use an approved plumber who will be able to ensure that the work complies with the regulations. Therefore if you need to alter or replace any plumbing in your property it is vital that it’s done to the highest safety standards. Use of approved purpose made plumbing materials, coupled with the services of a professional tradesman (although there will be a bill) like a Hornsey Plumber is the best plan.
