Reduce delays between chasing and plumbing
Space for insulation
We size the chase around the full pipe build-up, not just the bare tube.
Straight runs for fitting
Accurate routes help clips and pipes follow the planned line more easily.
Prompt trade handover
Completed channels can be left ready for immediate follow-on installation.
Recessed routes that fit the full pipe build-up
A chase sized only for bare pipe leaves no room for insulation, clips or the final finish. We form channels in walls and suitable floors for plumbing and recessed heating runs, using dimensions agreed for the complete installation. Straight, accurately positioned routes help the plumber fit and secure pipework without spending time correcting a wandering groove. We can plan around connection points, changes in direction and the intended depth below the finished surface, giving the next trade a practical route rather than an approximate trench.
Prepared so installation can follow promptly
Before cutting, we need the pipe diameter, insulation thickness, fixing method and intended surface finish. Bends, expansion requirements and connections all affect the route, while existing concealed services must be considered before blades enter the wall or floor. We use professional chasing equipment with extraction to control much of the dust at source. Once completed, the agreed workspace can be left ready for the plumber to begin the follow-on installation without waiting for further channel preparation.
Frequently asked questions
How deep should a plumbing pipe chase be?
Depth depends on the pipe, insulation, clips and final wall or floor finish. The route must also suit the construction. We work from the plumber's required dimensions rather than applying one depth to every job.
Can you chase floors for heating pipes?
We can assess suitable wall or floor channels for recessed heating and plumbing runs. Floor construction, services, required depth and the final finish must be checked before we confirm the equipment and route.
Can the plumber start as soon as chasing is complete?
Yes, the agreed area can be left ready for prompt follow-on work. The plumber remains responsible for fitting, securing and testing the pipework, while later making good follows once the installation stage is complete.
