Professional external pipe boxing in Crediton and Devon. We build neat, weatherproof boxing to conceal unsightly waste pipes, soil pipes, and overflow pipes on external walls. Improves appearance and protects pipes.
External pipes are functional but rarely attractive. Soil stacks, waste pipes, and overflows can dominate the appearance of an otherwise nice property. Proper boxing conceals them while allowing access for maintenance and preventing moisture build-up.
We build boxing using weather-resistant materials that match or complement your property. The boxing is ventilated to prevent condensation, includes access panels for pipe joints, and is fixed securely to withstand Devon weather. It's about making the solution look deliberate rather than a botched cover-up.
### Common Boxing Applications
| Pipe Type | Typical Material | Access Needed | Complexity | |-----------|------------------|---------------|------------| | Single waste pipe | UPVC cladding or painted timber | At joints only | Low | | Soil stack | Timber or UPVC boxing | Top and bottom | Medium | | Multiple pipes bundled | Custom timber frame + cladding | Multiple points | Medium-High | | Boiler condensate & overflow | Small section boxing | At connections | Low |
### Material Options
**UPVC Cladding** - Very weather-resistant, no maintenance - Clean, modern appearance - Available in white or colors - More expensive than timber
**Exterior Timber** - Traditional appearance - Can be painted any color - Requires treatment/maintenance - More economical option
**Plastic Boxing Systems** - Purpose-made for pipes - Quick to install - Limited sizing options - Works best for single pipes

What to Expect
**1. Site Survey & Planning** We measure the pipe runs, note any joints or connections needing access, and discuss material preferences. We confirm fixing points and how the boxing will attach to the wall. **2. Boxing Construction** We build the boxing framework, attach it securely to the wall, and add the cladding panels. Access panels are fitted where needed with removable fixings. Everything is sealed and made weatherproof. **3. Finishing** We paint or treat the boxing as specified (or leave ready for you to paint). We clean up all waste materials and debris. The finished boxing should look like a deliberate feature, not an afterthought.
Our Crediton Service Coverage
We cover Crediton and a 30-mile radius from Exeter, meaning you get local service with the backing of an established business. Whether you're in the centre of Crediton or in the surrounding villages, we're here to help.
Good to Know
Photos of the pipes and wall help us quote accurately - include the full pipe run if possible. If you want the boxing painted, we can do this or leave it primed ready for you to finish. Some very complex pipe arrangements with lots of bends and connections aren't practical to box - we'll advise alternatives. Boxing doesn't replace damaged or loose pipes - the pipes should be in good condition first. We clear away all waste timber and packaging. Listed buildings may need planning permission for external alterations - check before booking.
