Why We Don’t Use Plastic Plumbing — And Why It Matters For Your Home
At Sable Projects, we only install the highest-quality plumbing systems — built for performance, hygiene, and peace of mind.
That’s why we choose Geberit Mapress and premium press-fit systems — and never cut corners with cheap plastic.
Plastic Plumbing Might Be Common — But It’s Not Always Right
We see it all the time:
👉 Beautiful homes with
plastic pipework hidden 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" — but 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 now” → not true — Mapress and copper are still gold standard for quality installs.
👉 Assuming plastic is just as good → it’s not → lower lifespan, higher failure risk, worse for drinking water quality.
👉 “Saving money” on unseen parts of the build → ends up costing more in call-backs and repairs.
When clients choose Sable Projects, what they really want is:
✅ A plumbing system they can trust — 10, 20, 30 years from now
✅ Beautiful pipework behind the walls → not an afterthought
✅ Peace of mind → safe for drinking water, built to last
✅ Proper mechanical installation → not push-fit plastic
✅ A system that matches the quality of the home → form and function working together

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
1. We never fit plastic plumbing as standard
only if required by specific spec (heritage constraints or client requirement).
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 fit cheap plastic in homes that deserve better.
If that matters to you — we’d love to help.
