Any questions?
Do I have to replace all my plumbing when renovating?
Not always. Decisions depend on the condition and age of the network.
-
We inspect piping for leaks, corrosion, pressure and obsolete materials.
-
Where appropriate, we replace with modern materials (e.g. PEX/copper), add shut-off valves and water hammer arrestors.
-
Upgrade drains and vents; check water heater and main valve.
-
Objective: long-term reliability and easy access for maintenance.
What to do in the event of damp or water under the slab (basement)?
We treat the cause and manage the water pressure.
-
Diagnosis: inspection of cracks, moisture tests, verification of external slopes and gutters.
-
Internal solutions: internal drain (French drain), sump with sump pump, membrane/vapor barrier under coating, injection (epoxy/polyurethane) into active cracks.
-
External solutions: foundation waterproofing and perimeter drain where available.
-
Network protection: installation or upgrading of a non-return valve to prevent sewer backups.
Every home is unique: we propose a plan with priorities, budget and written guarantees.
Which countertops for the kitchen?
-
Quartz: durable, easy-care.
-
Granite: natural, heat-resistant, requires sealing.
-
Laminate: economical, varied, less resistant to impact/heat.
-
Wood/butcher block: warm, regular maintenance (oil).
How long does a kitchen renovation take and what are the key stages?
-
Design & orders (1-3 weeks): survey, plans, choice of cabinets, countertops, fittings, electrics.
-
Preparation (1-2 weeks): area protection, controlled demolition, plumbing/electrical corrections, levelling.
-
Installation (1-3 weeks): cabinets, countertops (including lead time), sink/faucets, backsplash, finishing and commissioning.
Tip: any relocation of sinks, gas ranges or islands is planned in advance to avoid unexpected costs.
How do you ensure a long-lasting, mould-free bathroom?
The key: waterproofing + ventilation + finishing details.
-
Certified waterproofing membranes on walls and floors, correct slope to drain, flood test of shower tray before tiling.
-
Fan sized and ducted to the outside (timer/hygrostat recommended).
-
Appropriate joints (suitable mortar/epoxy if necessary) and sanitary silicone at transitions.
-
Faucets and thermostatic mixing valves comply with standards; access to maintenance hatches.
