Plastic & composite tubes & pipes

Plastic pipe has evolved into a high quality material. For many purposes it is quicker and more flexible to use than alternatives. There are an estimated 50 to 60 per cent of properties in the UK that have plastic piping in the home and in many cases it does a similar job to copper pipes. It is at least on a comparable level in terms of how often it needs to be repaired or replaced, and is being improved all the time.
