Copper is better than PUSHFIT plastic

Posted on by amhadmin

Heating systems and plumbing systems installed in copper last longer.

This is the traditional way to install plumbing and heating in the UK.

I’ve been working in the plumbing and heating industry since 1982,

So I have seen some changes.

I understand new builds have to use plastic push fit due to the non-traditional design of new houses.

The reason why push fit is not as good as copper is that they usually incorporate an O-ring made from neoprene which may become brittle and start leaking over time. Whereas copper soldered joints are a welded joint, stronger than the copper itself, unlikely to leak in a lifetime.

I have been fitting copper for 37 years, if you use copper it should last a lifetime.

Traditional Installation

Traditional Plumbing and Heating

Using only traditional plumbing and heating methods since 1982, fitting copper pipes with soldered joints, a proven method of installing plumbing and heating since the 1900s, this ensures your installation will last the lifetime of the heating system.

  • Copper piping and Copper fittings
  • Soldered joints and fittings
  • Underfloor installations
  • Proven technology
  • Felted copper over joists to prevent creaking
  • Gas Safe registered

We do not install plastic push fit plumbing as the life expectancy will not outlast the life of the building. Traditional methods have always been and always will outlive any modern methods. Please feel free to give us a call to discuss anything regarding plumbing and heating.

Felted Pipes

Secure Post-Installation Flooring

After installation of pipeworts, all floorboards are screwed down securely to the joists, so it is always accessible by a hand tools.
