Plastic Plumbing Might Be Common — But It’s Not Always Right

We see it all the time:

👉 Beautiful homes often

hide plastic pipework behind the walls — prone to failure.

👉 Premium bathrooms and kitchens fitted over

cheap plastic push-fit fittings

→ out of sight, out of mind — until there’s a leak.


👉Clients promised low-cost installs

are often left with systems that won’t stand the test of time.

.

Here’s the truth:

Plastic plumbing is not designed for high-end properties or long-life performance

— yet it’s what most installers still fit as standard.

What clients have tried and (REGRETTED)


👉 Trusting the builder’s usual plumber → no spec control → cheap plastic used.

👉 Believing all modern plumbing uses plastic — not true. Mapress and copper remain the gold standard for quality installations.

👉 Assuming plastic is just as good → it’s not → lower lifespan, higher failure risk, worse for drinking water quality.

👉Trying to save money on unseen parts of the build often costs more in call-backs and repairs..

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

1. We never use plastic plumbing as standard

only when required by specification (heritage constraints or specific client request).

2. We specify Geberit Mapress on every high-end project

unless copper pipework is architect-specified.

3. We educate our clients

so they understand the difference.


4. We stand behind every system we install

we build it as if for our own homes.

Geberit Mapress FAQs

Why don’t most plumbers use Mapress?

Because plastic is faster and cheaper to install — but it’s not better.

Will Mapress add cost?

Yes — a little — but it saves you massive future risk and delivers long-term value.

Can you mix Mapress with existing pipework?

Yes — we design every system carefully → integrating where needed for heritage or partial refurbs.

Do you use plastic anywhere?

Only when the design requires it → and with full client sign-off. Our default is Mapress and copper.

If You Care About The Quality Of Your Plumbing — Let’s Talk.



We believe plumbing should be built to last — not to cut corners.

That’s why we proudly install Geberit Mapress and premium copper systems — and why we don’t compromise with materials unworthy of high-end homes.


If that matters to you — we’d love to help.
