New Build Plumbing in Wokingham
Southern Counties Plumbing provides new build plumbing in Wokingham and the surrounding areas. We work with developers, builders and project managers to install plumbing and heating systems for new properties.
Whether you’re building a single home or planning several plots, contact us to discuss your drawings and specifications. From there, we can explain the installation work involved and provide a quote.
New Build Plumbing Installations for Developers
Every development has different requirements. For example, the number of bathrooms, property layouts and heating specification all influence the plumbing installation.
For example, our team can discuss water supplies, internal waste pipework, bathroom fittings and heating systems. Before work begins, we agree which parts of the installation are included and how they fit into your build programme.

Planning Your New Build Plumbing
First, when planning new build plumbing in Wokingham, share your latest drawings, fixture choices and construction schedule. This helps us understand your development and identify questions before installation starts.
Next, we discuss pipe routes, equipment locations and access for future maintenance. We also review how the plumbing work will fit around other trades. For example, confirm your preferred bathroom fittings early so we can discuss their connections before pipework is installed.
For developments with several properties, tell us about any differences between plots. As a result, we can discuss the installation requirements for each layout.
For further planning information, read Water Regs UK’s guidance on notifying your water supplier about proposed plumbing work.
First Fix and Second Fix New Build Plumbing
New build plumbing installations usually involve separate stages. First fix work includes installing pipework before walls and floors are finished.
At this stage, the positions of bathrooms, kitchens and heating equipment need to be clear. Therefore, confirming layouts early helps avoid changes after surfaces have been completed.
Next, second fix work involves connecting fittings and equipment once the relevant areas are ready. Depending on the agreed specification, this may include taps, basins, toilets, showers and radiators.
Before each stage, we discuss site readiness and access with your project team. However, if fixture positions change after first fix, we may need to adjust the pipework before continuing.
New Build Plumbing for Homes and Housing Developments
Coordinating Plumbing with Your Build Programme
New build plumbing needs coordination with the wider construction project. For example, pipework may need to be installed before plastering, while bathroom fittings require completed surfaces.
We discuss these stages with your builder or site manager so everyone understands the proposed sequence. If other work affects access or timing, tell us as soon as possible.
Throughout the installation, we keep you informed about progress and discuss any changes that affect our work. Similarly, let us know if your construction schedule changes so we can review the timing of our installation work. Additionally, when arranging new build plumbing in Wokingham, tell us about any site access restrictions so we can plan deliveries and installation visits.
