Commercial plumbing built for beauty & nail salon fit-outs.
Industry Overview
Every beauty & nail salon is different, but every successful fit-out depends on one thing — a hydraulic system that supports efficient operation from opening day.
Oliver & Sons Plumbing works alongside builders, shopfitters and equipment suppliers to deliver commercial plumbing in accordance with the approved hydraulic design and construction program.
Key Differences
Floor-mounted water and drainage coordinated with the chair layout and floor build-up.
Basin and tap set-downs must line up with the cabinetry and stone.
TMVs may be required where temperature-controlled water is needed at treatment areas.
Some treatments may require floor wastes or chemical waste drainage depending on the services offered.
The Build Sequence
01
Review hydraulic drawings, confirm the project scope and coordinate the plumbing works with the builder before construction begins.
02
Install underground drainage, water services and in-wall pipework before wall sheeting and internal finishes.
03
Install fixtures, equipment connections and complete the final plumbing fit-off once finishes are complete.
04
Pressure test the system, complete commissioning and provide the required compliance documentation before handover.
Our Approach
Oliver & Sons Plumbing works alongside commercial builders, shopfitters, project managers and other project stakeholders, coordinating plumbing installations with the wider construction program to support efficient project delivery.
From new salons through to tenancy refurbishments and fit-out upgrades, we provide dependable plumbing installations that prioritise quality workmanship, clear communication and reliable project delivery.
The Outcome
Whether you're fitting out a new beauty salon, a nail studio or refurbishing an existing venue, our objective remains the same — delivering commercial plumbing that supports practical completion and provides the plumbing infrastructure required for day-to-day salon operations following project completion.
Industry-Specific Plumbing
Beauty and nail salons centre on basins, treatment areas and pedicure chairs, so waste and water positions have to line up with the joinery. These are the plumbing requirements we typically handle:
Pedicure Chair Plumbing
Drainage and water connections for pedicure chairs, including floor-mounted services.
Basins & Wash Points
Basin waste and hot and cold water services for treatment and wash areas.
Hot & Cold Water Services
Balanced hot and cold supply to basins and equipment.
Drainage
Floor wastes and drainage to suit salon layouts and treatment areas.
Hot Water Systems
Hot water units sized for basin and continuous demand.
Coordination with Cabinetry
Tap, basin and waste positions confirmed with the cabinetmaker and stone supplier.
Our Shopfit Process
We work alongside builders, shopfitters and other trades to deliver commercial plumbing in line with the construction program. From planning through to project completion, our focus is on quality workmanship, clear communication and completing our plumbing scope efficiently.
Commercial projects rely on careful sequencing. Every plumbing stage needs to align with construction milestones to avoid delays, minimise clashes with other trades and achieve practical completion on schedule. Our process is designed around commercial builders, ensuring every stage is completed efficiently and communicated clearly.
Review hydraulic and architectural drawings, confirm scope and coordinate with the builder before work begins.
Inspect existing services, confirm access, verify dimensions and finalise construction sequencing.
Install underground drainage, water services and in-wall pipework before wall sheeting and finishes.
Coordinate with cabinetmakers, electricians, tilers, kitchen suppliers and other trades throughout construction.
Install fixtures, tapware and equipment connections once cabinetry, finishes and equipment are complete.
Pressure test the system, complete commissioning and provide the required compliance documentation.
Final inspection, certification and project handover ready for practical completion and tenancy opening.
Working With Builders
Commercial fit-outs rely on close coordination between multiple trades. Our role is to complete our plumbing scope in accordance with the approved hydraulic design while working alongside builders, shopfitters and other contractors throughout construction.
We communicate directly with builders, site supervisors and project managers throughout the project, responding to RFIs, confirming plumbing requirements and coordinating our work with other trades.
Key point — A direct line to the site team, not layers of sub-contractors.

Treatment Services
Basins used for hair washing and beauty treatments, needing hot and cold supply and compliant waste connections coordinated with the joinery.
Set-downs are confirmed with the cabinetmaker during rough-in, before benches and tiling are installed.
Key Considerations
Basins used for hair washing and beauty treatments, needing hot and cold supply and compliant waste connections coordinated with the joinery.
Set-downs are confirmed with the cabinetmaker during rough-in, before benches and tiling are installed.
Key Considerations
Pedicure chairs need floor-mounted water supply and drainage coordinated with the chair layout and the floor build-up.
Set-downs are confirmed during rough-in, before the slab or screed is poured, as floor-mounted services cannot be adjusted once the floor is cast.
Key Considerations
Where sterilisers form part of the fit-out, water and drainage connections are provided in accordance with the equipment requirements and approved design.
Set-downs are confirmed with the equipment supplier during rough-in.
Key Considerations
Hot and cold water rough-in and fit-off to fixtures, equipment and amenities across the fit-out.
Set-downs are confirmed during rough-in, ahead of cabinetry and finishes, so taps, basins and equipment connect correctly at fit-off.
Key Considerations
Hot water systems serve the continuous demand of the fit-out across basins, sinks, equipment and amenities. The system is sized to the fixture and equipment load to avoid undersupply during service.
Selected at design stage, roughed-in with the other hydraulic services, and connected and commissioned during fit-off where required.
Key Considerations
Where temperature-controlled water is required, thermostatic mixing valves deliver safe, controlled water temperatures at basins and treatment areas.
TMVs are installed where required by the approved design and commissioned during fit-off where applicable.
Key Considerations
Drainage points set into the floor to carry wash-down water and spillage to the drainage system, keeping the floor safe and operable during cleaning.
Positions and falls are set during rough-in, before the slab or screed is poured — falls cannot be adjusted once the floor is cast.
Key Considerations
Carries wastewater from fixtures, equipment and floor wastes to the sewer or trade waste system.
Pipe sizes, falls, junctions and discharge points are set before the slab is poured. Because falls cannot be adjusted once the floor is cast, the layout has to be right at rough-in.
Key Considerations
Some beauty treatments discharge chemical waste that may require separate drainage or pre-treatment depending on the services offered and authority requirements.
Where applicable, drainage is provided in accordance with the approved hydraulic design and authority requirements.
Key Considerations
Pressure testing and commissioning confirm the hydraulic system performs as specified. Water services are pressure-tested, drainage flows checked, and fixtures and equipment connections commissioned where required.
Testing and commissioning are scheduled during fit-off so any issues are resolved before final sign-off.
Key Considerations
Depending on the project and local authority requirements, fit-outs may require inspections relating to the plumbing installation. Where an inspection forms part of our plumbing scope, we prepare the relevant plumbing work for inspection at the appropriate stage of construction and complete any required plumbing rectifications before progressing.
