Kitchen Plumbing

We handle kitchen pipework, sink and tap installations, appliance supplies and waste connections with attention to cabinet and worktop layouts. Work includes pipe relocations for new or replacement kitchens, secure washing machine and dishwasher connections, and speedy diagnosis of leaks beneath sinks. We advise on keeping isolation valves accessible and protecting cabinets from water damage.

New and Replacement Kitchen Pipework

Altering supplies and wastes is easiest before cabinets and worktops go in so pipe positions match the final layout. We plan runs to avoid unnecessary cuts through units and to leave appliance hoses unobstructed.

We can relocate accessible pipework and fit hot and cold connections to suit sinks, taps, dishwashers and washing machines.

• Site visit to assess pipe routes and final layout
• Supply and waste positioning for sinks and appliances
• Relocation of accessible pipework where needed
• Work coordinated to fit cabinetry and worktops
• Advice on hose routing and valve access

Repairs and Leak Diagnosis

Even small leaks under sinks can damage cabinet bases and floors; common causes include loose waste fittings, failed tap connectors and worn isolation valves. We locate the source and recommend the right repair.

Where parts are needed we fit replacement wastes, tap connectors and valves and check surrounding pipework for wear or movement that could cause future leaks.

• Inspection and pinpointing of leak sources
• Replacement of wastes, connectors and isolation valves
• Checks for concealed damage to cabinets and flooring
• Advice on preventing recurring leaks
• Testing after repair to ensure watertight connections

Appliance Connections and Safety

Washing machines and dishwashers need secure water and waste connections with hoses routed so they are not kinked, trapped or stretched. We ensure isolation valves stay accessible for maintenance or emergencies.

We fit and test appliance hoses and waste fittings and make adjustments to keep connections serviceable and tidy behind units.

• Water supply and waste connections for appliances
• Correct hose routing to prevent kinks and strain
• Accessible isolation valves fitted or repositioned
• Pressure and leak testing of appliance connections
• Neat, concealed routing to protect cabinets

What to Consider Before You Call

If you are replacing a kitchen, tell us the planned layout and appliance positions so pipework can be prepared in advance. For leaks, note when the problem started and any visible signs of damp or staining.

We can provide advice and a quotation after an on-site inspection; emergency situations with significant flooding should be referred to emergency services first.

• Have layout plans or appliance locations ready for quotes
• Note visible signs and timing of leaks
• Keep isolation valves accessible where possible
• Ask about replacing old flexible hoses and valves
• Contact emergency services if there is immediate danger

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you move sink and appliance positions for a new kitchen?

Yes. Moving supplies and wastes is straightforward if done before cabinets and worktops are installed; we assess pipe runs and relocate accessible pipework to suit the desired layout.

How do you prevent damage to cabinets from leaks?

We locate and repair leaks, replace worn fittings and ensure hose routing and wastes are fitted correctly to minimise the risk of water reaching cabinet bases or flooring.

Will appliance hoses need replacing when installing a new machine?

If hoses show wear, kinks or are the wrong length we recommend replacement; new hoses and correct routing reduce the risk of future leaks and keep isolation valves accessible.

Do you test connections after work is completed?

Yes. We pressure- or leak-test supply and appliance connections after installation or repair to check they are watertight and functioning correctly.

What information should I have before requesting a quote?

Provide the planned kitchen layout or photos of the existing set-up, appliance positions and any visible damage or symptoms of leaks so we can assess likely work and provide an informed quotation.
