Perth Plumbing Renovations

Yes, that’s why you should always enlist the help of a licensed plumber before attempting or planning to move any plumbing fixtures. In some instances, moving plumbing fixtures may not even be a viable option. The cost and difficulty of moving fixtures depend on the existing layout of your home, your home's foundations and the scope of what you want to do. For example, moving a sink a metre along the same wall will be a lot less complex than moving a shower to the opposite side of the room. Before planning your layout, it’s best to consult a plumber on your plans to avoid disappointment or bill shock down the track.

Before you start any plumbing renovations, it's important to check for any existing plumbing issues. This will help you avoid any potential problems during the renovation process. Carrying out a CCTV drain inspection is also a good idea to help locate pipes and make sure they are in good condition. Finally, before starting any renovation, it’s important to put together a plan and budget. Renovating your plumbing can be expensive, so it's important to have a realistic idea of what you can afford before you start tearing down walls or calling in contractors. Make sure you take into account the cost of materials, labour, permits, and any other associated expenses.

There are several factors to consider in terms of timeline. First, you'll need to decide on the scope of the project. Are you just updating fixtures and finishes, or are you doing a complete gut? Once you've determined the scope, you can start to put together a timeline.

If you're just doing specific updates, such as new paint, tile, or fixtures, then the project could take as little as 2-3 weeks. However, if you're planning a complete gut renovation - tearing out everything from floor to ceiling - then the project will likely take at least 8 weeks. Keep in mind that these timelines are just estimates and you’ll need to factor in delays and supply shortages.

When it comes to plumbing, you should never skimp on quality! This is especially true if you're planning a renovation, as faulty plumbing can cause all sorts of problems down the road.

That being said, how much money you'll need to set aside for your plumbing renovation depends on the scope of the project. If you're just updating a few fixtures, then you won't need to spend as much as if you're gutting and completely redoing your bathroom or kitchen.

To get an idea of how much money you should allow for your particular project, it's best to consult with one of our plumbers who can give you a more accurate estimate.

Yes, it's generally a good idea to have a plumber on hand for any renovation project, no matter how big or small the renovation is. A plumber can help you with everything from checking where the pipes are located, installing new pipes and installing new fixtures. 

If you're doing a major renovation project, it's especially important to have a plumber on hand. Plumbing is a complex and expensive process, and mistakes can be costly - not to mention dangerous. You don’t want to accidentally drill into a pipe or plan a renovation to find you can’t relocate your existing fixtures. It's always better to be safe than sorry, so if you're not sure whether or not you need a plumber for your renovation project, it's best to err on the side of caution and call in the experts.
