We replace old water and sewer risers with new pipes – with a shut-off valve for each flat, a pressure test and access panels for future access.
5.0 on Google · 15 reviews
Risers are a shared part of the building and replacing them affects everyone on that vertical line of flats, so the work is agreed with the building's owners' association and the neighbours. The site visit covers the pipe shaft in every affected flat, and the day and the hours without water are arranged in advance.
It is safer to replace the whole vertical line at once – otherwise the joints between the new pipe and the old one above and below you remain a weak point. When the shaft is next to a bedroom or living room, we offer sewer pipes with better sound insulation, because plastic lets through more noise than cast iron.
Technical detail: hot-water pipe expansion
Polypropylene pipe expands noticeably when heated, and over the height of a whole block this adds up to centimetres. That is why stabilised pipes and fixed points on every floor are used for hot water – otherwise the riser bends and puts strain on the branches.
The most common situations people call us about, and how we approach them.
Process
We organise the work around the specifics of the city and the property, planning access, logistics and stages.
The price is calculated for the specific vertical line after inspecting all affected shafts.
If hidden damage is found when the shaft is opened, we describe it and agree it with you before going ahead.

Every completed project receives a warranty certificate. This is what it covers and for how long.
The extended term applies to the installations themselves and to the roofing work. Installed ready-made products — taps, fittings, appliances — carry the manufacturer's warranty.

Risers are a shared part of the building, so the replacement is agreed with the building's owners' association and the neighbours on the vertical line. How the decision is made and how the costs are split is up to the owners' association itself.
The water is usually turned off only for the affected vertical line, and the hours are arranged with the neighbours in advance. The replacement itself usually takes from one to several days, depending on the number of floors and access.
You can, but the old pipes above and below you remain, and the joints with them are a weak point. If the neighbours are not ready, we leave the transitions accessible so the rest can be replaced later without breaking anything open in your flat.
The cladding in front of the shaft is opened for access. After the replacement, the shaft is closed with an access panel and the cladding around it is reinstated as agreed.
Eternit pipes contain asbestos, and removing them requires special safety and waste-handling measures – they are not broken out like ordinary pipes. We confirm this at the site visit and list it separately in the quote.
We will inspect the vertical line and you will receive a written quote to show your neighbours.
