Project Overview

P C Kelly Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning was appointed to carry out a complete plumbing renovation as part of an extensive whole-house refurbishment.

The existing plumbing system had served the property for many years but had become unreliable, with ageing pipework, inconsistent water pressure and numerous historic alterations making maintenance increasingly difficult. The homeowner wanted a completely new plumbing system installed before renovation works progressed, ensuring the property would benefit from a modern, reliable water distribution network for decades to come.

Working closely with the homeowner and other trades on site, our engineers carefully planned and installed a completely new plumbing system throughout the property, providing reliable hot and cold water services to every bathroom, kitchen and utility area.

The completed installation has modernised the home's plumbing infrastructure while improving water flow, reliability and future accessibility for maintenance.
