Types of Pipes and Materials
Choosing the right type of pipe is crucial for any plumbing installation. We work with a variety of pipe materials, each suited to specific needs and applications:
- Copper Pipes: Known for their durability and reliability, copper pipes are ideal for both hot and cold water supply.
- PEX Pipes: Flexible and resistant to scale and chlorine, PEX pipes are perfect for new construction and repiping projects.
- PVC Pipes: Commonly used for drain, waste, and vent systems, PVC pipes are lightweight and easy to install.
- Galvanised Steel Pipes: Typically used for water supply lines, these pipes are strong but can corrode over time.
- CPVC Pipes: Chlorinated PVC pipes are great for hot water applications, offering a higher temperature resistance than standard PVC.
Wall Types and Installation Techniques
Understanding the type of walls in your home is essential for effective plumbing. Whether you have solid brick walls, cavity walls, or plasterboard walls, our team is equipped to handle all installation challenges.
- Solid Brick Walls: We use masonry drill bits and wall anchors to secure pipes and fixtures, ensuring a sturdy installation.
- Cavity Walls: Special care is taken to avoid bridging the cavity, preventing moisture transfer. We use cavity wall fixings and pipe sleeves to protect the plumbing.
- Plasterboard Walls: Lightweight and common in modern homes, plasterboard walls require careful handling. We use wall studs and noggins to provide additional support for heavy fixtures.
We have five tips for moving homes curated for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What permits are required for a house renovation in London and Essex?
Permits depend on the scope of the renovation. One of the main permits you may need is the planning permission, which can be obtained from your local council. These steps, however, need to be finalised before we start working on your project. Please consult a solicitor, architect or the council to be certain your home renovation can continue without any delays.
Can you check the required water pressure before beginning my renovation?
Absolutely. We can assess and confirm water pressure levels to ensure your upgraded system performs reliably.
Can I upgrade my existing system with new components?
Yes, we can assess compatibility and connect your new, more powerful system to existing installations when appropriate.
Can you reposition the current piping instead of installing new pipes?
In many cases, we can reposition pipes for optimal layout without needing an entirely new system.
Can I provide materials for my plumbing renovation?
We’re happy to work with your materials, provided they meet local standards and project’s specifications.

“Can’t recommend Lazard enough, they were friendly, courteous and professional throughout. The quotation I think was very fair, they even agreed to fit a new shower we needed within the original price. It’s not exactly fun when your boiler packs up, but they made the replacement a painless process, cannot be faulted in any way.”
