SPECIFIC MEASURES REQUIRED TO MINIMISE THIS RISK

To start off we will shut off the water supply and put in temporary stoppers, and then we will turn the water back on so that the rest of the property can have a water supply. We will then take out all the old piping, the old basin, the old plastic waste system ready to put the new one in. We will begin by putting the basin where ever you would like it to be, then from there we will install the waste system and work our way back the water supply. Afterwards we will test it all for leaks and to make sure it all works correctly and safely. We will also make sure the job is completed to your satisfaction.
