Why Choose Copper Pipe Installation?
Copper pipe installation is ideal for both hot and cold water supply, drainage, and waste lines. Unlike plastic alternatives, copper is naturally antimicrobial, fire-resistant, and capable of withstanding extreme conditions. At LJM Plumbing, we choose copper for its proven performance, especially in long-term property ownership and higher-pressure applications. Key benefits of copper piping include:
- Resistance to UV, rodents, and deterioration
- Fire safety advantages over plastic pipework
- Compatibility with a wide range of fittings and fixtures
- Long lifespan with minimal maintenance
- Enhanced water pressure stability and reduced noise
We use press-fit copper connections, which provide fast, clean joins without the need for on-site soldering or gas flame. This approach speeds up installations and enhances safety, especially in confined or high-risk spaces.

Replacing Poly and Galvanised Piping with Copper
In recent years, many homeowners and builders have faced problems with inferior PEX systems and ageing galvanised steel pipes. Leaks caused by rodent damage, UV exposure, or corrosion can lead to costly repairs and water wastage.
LJM Plumbing offers targeted upgrades and full-home repipes using copper. Our team identifies vulnerable or leaking sections, isolates the affected pipework, and installs durable copper replacements that restore system integrity and eliminate ongoing issues.
We’ve seen first-hand how copper piping outlasts alternatives and protects property from long-term plumbing failures. It remains our preferred material for new builds, replacements, and renovations.
