Plumbing — BauStern

Work carried out to the applicable SIA standards, the SVGW guidelines and the requirements of the water supplier.

Pressure and leak test

Every new pipe is tested. The report comes to you with the invoice.

5-year warranty

On our work, from acceptance — in the first 2 years you can report defects at any time. Manufacturers' material guarantees come on top.

Predictable response time

In the framework agreement, we set how quickly we are on site when something goes wrong.

Frequently asked questions: plumbing.

Short answers. Everything else we clarify at the site visit.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

A full refurbishment with strip-out, pipework, tiling and installation takes three to four weeks. A refresh without new tiles — taps, WC, silicone, paint — is done in three to five working days.

How quickly is a boiler replaced?

A standard electric boiler is swapped in one day, including disposal of the old unit. Special sizes or heat-pump water heaters are clarified at the site visit.

Do you also work in the evenings or at weekends?

For businesses, restaurants and medical practices, by arrangement — so that operations can continue.

What happens if there is water damage outside office hours?

Under a framework agreement, we agree a response time for faults. Without one: turn off the water, photograph the damage, inform your insurer — and call us. We call back within one hour on working days (Mon–Fri 08:00–18:00, otherwise on the next working day from 08:00) and come round as quickly as possible.

Do you handle coordination with the water supplier?

Yes. We coordinate the registrations and the inspection by the supplier and enclose the documents.
