Why Choosing the Right Plumbing System Matters — And Why We Use Geberit Mapress
Introduction
Most homeowners and even some builders focus on the parts of a plumbing system they can see — shiny taps, beautiful bathrooms, designer kitchens.
But what happens behind the walls and under the floors matters just as much — if not more.
👉 The wrong plumbing system can cause leaks, poor water quality, and costly repairs just a few years after a project is finished.
👉 The right system delivers flawless performance and peace of mind for decades.
At Sable Projects, we believe that every detail matters — which is why we install only the best plumbing systems. And why we choose Geberit Mapress press-fit systems — not cheap plastic — for our high-end installations.

Why So Many Homeowners (And Builders) End Up Let Down
We see it far too often:
👉 “Our builder said the plumber was great — but after 2 years we’ve had 3 leaks.”
👉 “We spent £50k on a bathroom refit, but they used cheap plastic fittings behind the walls.”
👉 “Our designer wanted exposed copper — but the rest of the plumbing was plastic and badly installed.”
The problem?
👉 Builders and trades often look to save money on unseen parts of the build.
👉 Many plumbers push plastic push-fit systems — they’re faster and cheaper to install.
👉 Homeowners often aren’t aware they have a choice — until it’s too late.
What Clients Often Try (And Regret Later)
👉 Trusting the builder’s usual plumbing contractor — assuming they’ll do things properly.
👉 Believing the myth that “all modern plumbing uses plastic now” → not true in professional installs.
👉 Skimping on unseen pipework → spending big on finishes, but leaving plastic behind the walls.
👉 Letting “fast and cheap” guide product choices → a decision that often comes back to bite them.
The Dream Outcome Every Client Wants
✅ A plumbing system they can trust for decades → no leaks, no cheap fittings, no hidden compromises.
✅ Safe, hygienic pipework → built for drinking water quality and long life.
✅ A system that works perfectly with high-end fixtures → consistent pressure, no call-backs.
✅ Beautiful, professional mechanical installs → even when no one will “see” the pipework.
✅ Peace of mind → knowing the system matches the quality of the rest of the home.

Why We Don’t Use Plastic Plumbing
At Sable Projects, we believe that shortcuts have no place in high-end plumbing.
👉 We don’t fit cheap plastic pipework as standard.
👉 We educate every client on the differences — because most people haven’t been told the truth about what’s being fitted in their home.
👉 We proudly specify Geberit Mapress and premium copper systems for all our design-led projects.
👉 And when we do use plastic (very rarely), it’s only where design or technical constraints require it — and always with full client sign-off.
If you care about quality — this matters.
Why This Matters for Your Next Project
👉 If you’re working with an architect or builder → ask about plumbing spec early.
👉 If you’re a homeowner planning a new bathroom, kitchen or full refurb → demand proper installs behind the walls.
👉 If your plumber can’t explain what system they’re using and why — be cautious.
👉 If you want peace of mind for the long term → choose a team who treats plumbing as a core part of your home, not an afterthought.
