Sink without pedestal plumbing advice

Hi

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to bury pipes into a wall when fitting a sink without a pedestal ? Or would it have to be boxed out effectively losing aea from the bathroom ? this is bening fitted in an old victorian flat.

Thanks

  • You can chase 15mm pipes into the wall but the channel needs to be at least 1" deep. Also, I believe you can buy a thin flexible shroud to protect the pipework and allow for expansion. Make sure the pipes are fixed sucurely to the wall to avoid the plaster being damaged should the sink need to be removed for any reason.
