Expert Kitchen Plumbing for Newcastle Homes
Kitchen plumbing encompasses far more than simply connecting a sink. A modern kitchen may include a single or double bowl sink with a mixer tap, a separate filtered water tap, an instant boiling water tap, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a tumble dryer with a drain, a fridge-freezer with a water and ice dispenser connection, a waste disposal unit, and an overflow sensor. Our Newcastle kitchen plumbing team is experienced with all of these installations and the specific requirements of each.
The most common kitchen plumbing jobs we carry out in Newcastle are sink replacement, tap replacement (including mixer taps, bridge taps, and pull-out spray taps), waste trap replacement, dishwasher connection, washing machine connection, and under-sink water filter installation. We also respond to kitchen plumbing emergencies such as blocked kitchen drains, leaking waste pipes, and dripping taps — all of which can cause significant damage and inconvenience if left unattended.
Kitchen Plumbing Services We Provide
Fitting a new kitchen sink requires careful assessment of the existing worktop cut-out dimensions and the type of sink being installed — undermount, inset, or Belfast farmhouse. Undermount sinks, which sit below the worktop surface for a seamless look, require the worktop to be cut and sealed precisely. Belfast sinks are heavy and require robust cabinet support. Our engineers are experienced with all fitting types and take care to seal and waterproof the installation to prevent the under-sink area from becoming damp.
Boiling water taps — brands such as Quooker, InSinkErator, and Franke — have become increasingly popular in Newcastle kitchens. These taps dispense filtered boiling water, chilled water, and sparkling water from a single unit and require a connection to the cold water supply and (for some models) the hot water supply, as well as a power supply. We work closely with electricians where required to ensure these taps are safely and correctly installed.
Upgrading Your Kitchen Plumbing During a Renovation
Kitchen renovations are the ideal time to upgrade the underlying plumbing — moving a sink to a new location, adding an additional preparation sink in an island, or installing an outdoor kitchen connection. It is always far more cost-effective to carry out this work while units and worktops are not yet in place. Our engineers are happy to work with your kitchen fitter and project manager to ensure the plumbing is in exactly the right position before the kitchen is installed.
All work carried out by our Newcastle team is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee and we are fully Gas Safe registered and comprehensively insured. Call us now on 07960 485 880 or request a free quote online.
