Signs this work is needed now

Screed pour is scheduled

If screed is days away and pipe runs are not yet in, every delay raises the cost and complexity of correction

Block walls nearly finished

Seeing block walls rise without embedded pipe sleeves means expensive surface chasing or rerouting later

Fixture positions changed

A late decision to move a basin or WC means drain gradients must be rechecked before concrete is poured

Full-strip apartment renovation

Stripping an apartment back to raw concrete opens the chance to replace corroded iron pipes and fix wrong drain falls

Materials and methods used

01

PPR pressure pipe

Handles Kuwait's high temperatures and resists the mineral scale common in local supply water

02

uPVC drain pipe

Smooth bore slows calcium deposit build-up and makes future rodding straightforward

03

Heat fusion welding

Fusing PPR joints with heat creates a bond stronger than the pipe itself with no leak path

04

Air pressure testing

Reveals any supply line leak before screed using air, so no water damages the raw structure

What decides the price

No fixed rate applies; the quote depends on several factors specific to each apartment

Apartment floor area

Larger units mean longer supply and drain runs throughout the floor plan

Number of wet rooms

Each additional bathroom or kitchen point increases stub-out and branch count

Specified pipe material

Project specs requiring higher-grade pipe directly raise material cost

Current build stage

Working after walls are closed adds breaking and making-good costs

Floor level and access

Upper floors without a service lift raise time and labour for material handling

Who we work for

Same method, same equipment. Only the size of the job changes.

Common questions

Can a drain point position be moved after the apartment screed has been poured?

Yes, but it requires breaking out the screed, relaying the drain pipe at the correct gradient, and making good. The cost and disruption are significantly higher than correcting the position before the pour, which is why early review matters.

What is the difference between first-fix in a new build and a full apartment renovation?

In a new build, pipes run through an open structure without any breaking. In a full renovation, old finishes are stripped first, then the first-fix is reinstalled to current standards. Old galvanised iron pipes are typically replaced with PPR at the same time.

How do you confirm drain gradients are correct inside the apartment?

A digital level is used to verify the fall along each drain run before it is fixed in place. Too little gradient causes sediment to settle and eventually block; too steep a fall carries water ahead but leaves solids behind.

Does apartment first-fix include hot water supply lines as well?

Yes, both cold and hot supply lines are included. The hot line is routed away from exterior exposures where possible to reduce heat gain and heat loss in Kuwait's climate.

Can you carry out first-fix for a single apartment inside a multi-storey building?

Yes, we work on a single unit without needing a contract for the whole building. The apartment is connected to the building's main supply and drain lines in line with the approved drawings.
