Exposed pipework can make an otherwise tidy room look unfinished. We provide neat boxing in solutions for visible plumbing and heating pipes in kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, hallways and other areas of the home.
Each section is built to suit the space rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. We aim to keep the boxing as compact as possible so that it conceals the pipework without taking up unnecessary floor or wall space.
Where access to valves, stopcocks or joints may be required in the future, we can include removable sections or access panels. This helps keep the installation practical as well as visually tidy.

Boiler Pipe BoxingBoxing
Boilers often have several visible pipes running underneath or alongside them, particularly after a replacement boiler has been installed. Boxing these pipes in can give the area a much cleaner and more finished appearance.
We can build bespoke boxing around boiler pipework using suitable timber or sheet materials, shaped to fit neatly around existing fittings and walls. The boxing can then be prepared ready for decoration to match the surrounding room.
Access can be incorporated where necessary so that engineers can still reach important valves, controls or connections. We always recommend retaining suitable access around components that may require future servicing or maintenance.
Boxing In Meters, Cables and Services
Electric meters, consumer units, cables and other household services are sometimes positioned in very visible areas. A simple piece of bespoke boxing or a small enclosure can help conceal these without requiring major alterations.
We can build covers and enclosures to suit the existing layout, including areas beneath stairs, entrance halls, utility rooms and kitchens. Doors or removable panels can also be fitted where regular access is required.
The aim is to create something that looks like a deliberate part of the room rather than an obvious cover added afterwards. Existing skirting boards, wall lines and surrounding joinery can often be incorporated into the design for a neater finish.

Bathrooms and toilets frequently have exposed soil pipes, waste pipes and water supplies that can make the room look cluttered. Boxing these areas in can significantly improve the overall appearance without needing to relocate the plumbing.
We can construct neat boxing around vertical and horizontal pipe runs, including behind toilets, beneath basins and around larger soil pipes. Where suitable, the boxing can also create a useful ledge or shelf.
Care is taken to ensure that important plumbing components remain accessible where required. Removable panels can be included so that future repairs do not necessarily mean damaging or dismantling the entire installation.
Kitchens and utility rooms often contain a mixture of pipework, cables and appliance connections that are difficult to hide completely. Bespoke boxing can provide a simple way of concealing these areas while keeping the room looking tidy.
We can box in services beside kitchen units, around boilers, above worktops or along walls where plumbing cannot be concealed within the building itself. Each piece is made to suit the available space and surrounding cabinetry.
For smaller jobs, photographs are often enough for us to provide an initial idea of the work required. This can make straightforward boxing in projects quicker and easier to arrange.
