- Isolation and access
- Checks before finishing
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.

Decide this before construction
Address assessed causes of defects before new finishes conceal them. Plan comfort measures together with ventilation and necessary access to building services.
Allow for later maintenance
Update the maintenance record after each phase. Keep photographs of concealed elements and note which investigation questions remain open.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on pipe length, access, connection count and reinstatement. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
