Plumbing
Installation and repair of sanitary fixtures, pipework, water heaters and hot water systems.
We install, replace and repair sanitary installations in Geneva, Lausanne and around Lake Geneva: pipework, water heaters, taps and appliances. We handle both one-off repairs and the complete rebuild of a bathroom or kitchen.
What we do
- Installing and replacing pipework, surface-mounted or concealed
- Fitting and replacing water heaters (boilers) and domestic hot water systems
- Replacing taps, WCs, showers, baths and basins
- Tracing and repairing leaks, clearing blocked drains
- Connecting washing machines and dishwashers
- Periodic maintenance in flats, houses and commercial premises
Hard water: settle it before the work starts
Water in the Lake Geneva basin is hard. Limescale cuts a water heater's efficiency, clogs taps and shortens the life of appliances. Before rebuilding a bathroom it is worth deciding whether the installation will get a softener or an anti-scale treatment: adding one afterwards costs considerably more, because the distribution has to be opened up again.
How we work
We quote after seeing the installation, not over the phone: the state of the riser, access to the stopcocks and the type of existing pipework affect the price far more than the chosen taps. For work in an apartment building we coordinate the water shut-off with the managing agent.
Plumbing work almost always touches tiling and sometimes electrics. We cover those trades in-house, so a single bathroom does not mean waiting on three different firms.
Frequently asked questions
Do you handle emergency leaks?
Yes, leaks and blockages are treated as a priority; call us for a fast response in Geneva or Lausanne.
Does a bathroom rebuild need the managing agent's approval?
In a rented flat, yes, and often in a co-ownership too as soon as the work touches shared risers. We prepare the technical description to submit.
Can you replace a water heater without redoing the whole bathroom?
Yes. Replacing a boiler is a standalone job; while we are there we check the safety valve and the expansion vessel.
Do you guarantee the work?
Yes, on the installation and on the materials we supply.
