Pipe Replacement Services in Hillsborough

Many Hillsborough homes were plumbed with galvanised steel — now 50-60 years old and corroding from the inside. A lot of homes across Hillsborough are still running on original pipes.

The signs are hard to miss: rusty brown water, noticeably low flow, pinhole leaks appearing in walls or ceilings, and stained laundry. If you're seeing any of these, the pipes are failing — and patching won't fix corrosion from within.

A full house re-pipe is typically done in 1-2 days with minimal disruption. We plan the job to keep your water off for the shortest time possible.

Your Options

Full House Re-Pipe

Replace all galvanised pipes with copper or PEX. Modern fittings, better pressure, clean water throughout.

Partial Re-Pipe

Replace the worst sections first. Good option if budget is tight. We prioritise the most corroded runs.

Galvanised to Copper

The classic Hillsborough re-pipe. Copper is durable, proven, and lasts 50+ years.

Galvanised to PEX

Flexible PEX piping is faster to install, fewer joints, and great for tight spaces in older Hillsborough homes.

Signs Your Pipes Need Replacing

Rusty or brown water — galvanised pipes corroding from inside.

Low water pressure — corrosion narrows the pipe, choking flow.

Banging or rattling pipes — loose or corroded pipe fittings.

Pinhole leaks — small leaks in walls or under floors, staining ceilings.

Stained laundry or fixtures — iron stains from corroded pipes.

Pipes over 40 years old — galvanised steel has a 30-50 year lifespan.
