Our services
Pipe lagging services —
Melbourne & regional VIC
Acoustic and thermal pipe insulation for builders, plumbing contractors and homeowners. Every installation is compliant with NCC 2022 and AS/NZS 4859.1, backed by same-day SWMS, indexed handover photos and full compliance documentation.
Acoustic pipe lagging
Acoustic pipe lagging reduces the noise transmitted through PVC soil, waste and stormwater pipes — a requirement in all new multi-residential and commercial buildings under NCC 2022 Section F5.6.
Who is this for
- Builders and developers — NCC 2022 compliance on multi-residential, townhouse and apartment projects
- Plumbing contractors — Subcontract your lagging scope to a specialist, freeing your team for plumbing work
- Homeowners — Noisy pipes in an existing home or apartment, post-handover defect rectification
What's included
- Supply and installation of acoustic lagging
- Site-specific SWMS delivered same day
- Handover photo set indexed by level and room
- NCC 2022 Section F5.6 compliance documentation on request
Materials we use
AcousticSoundlag 4525C — all compliant with AS/NZS 4859.1
Typical projects
Multi-storey apartments · Townhouse developments · Commercial office fit-outs · Residential renovations · Retrofit and defect rectification
Thermal pipe insulation
Thermal pipe insulation maintains water temperature in hot and cold water systems, reduces energy loss and prevents condensation on chilled pipework. Required under NCC 2022 Section J for most commercial and new residential builds, thermal lagging is a straightforward scope that's often left until last — we keep it moving so your project doesn't stall at handover.
Who is this for
- Plumbing contractors — Subcontract your thermal lagging scope so your plumbers can focus on rough-in and fit-off
- Builders — Section J thermal compliance on new residential and commercial projects
- Homeowners — Hot water pipe insulation to reduce heat loss and lower energy bills
What's included
- Supply and installation of closed-cell foam tube insulation (Armaflex, Thermobreak or Flexicell XPLE)
- Hot water, cold water, chilled water and heating pipework
- All tape, adhesive and fixings
- Site-specific SWMS
- NCC 2022 Section J R-value compliance documentation on request
Materials we use
Armaflex tube insulation · Thermobreak · Flexicell XPLE — specified to the R-value required by your hydraulic engineer or NCC Section J report
Typical projects
New residential builds · Townhouses and apartments · Commercial hot water systems · Chilled water pipework · Heating systems · Retrofit upgrades
Retrofit & residential
Not every lagging job is a new build. We work on occupied apartments, older homes and existing buildings where pipes were never insulated or where defects have been raised after handover. We're familiar with tight access, occupied spaces and the need to work clean — and we can usually turn around a residential quote within 24 hours.
Who is this for
- Homeowners — Noisy pipes keeping you or your tenants awake at night
- Property managers and strata — Noise complaints between apartments, defect rectification
- Builders and plumbers — Post-handover acoustic fail-throughs, building surveyor defects
- Renovators — Pipe lagging as part of a bathroom, kitchen or whole-home renovation
What's included
- Site inspection and written quote within 24 hours
- Supply and installation of acoustic or thermal lagging as required
- Work in occupied buildings with minimal disruption
- Before and after photos provided
- Clean, tidy worksite — all offcuts and packaging removed
