Can a plumber connect my new dishwasher?

Yes. Connecting a dishwasher involves routing a cold water supply hose to the machine, fitting a waste hose to the drainage system with an air gap or check valve, and ensuring the electrical supply is accessible. Our plumbers handle the full connection and test the machine through a cycle before leaving.

How long does it take to fit a new kitchen sink?

A straightforward sink swap where the existing plumbing connections are compatible typically takes between one and two hours. If the new sink requires different pipe routing, additional waste connections, or a new tap installation, the job may take half a day. Your plumber will confirm the expected timeframe after seeing the setup.

Why does my kitchen sink drain slowly?

Slow-draining kitchen sinks are almost always caused by a build-up of grease and food debris inside the waste trap and pipe. Pouring boiling water down the sink after washing up can help prevent build-up, but once the pipe is significantly narrowed, a plumber with the right tools can clear it much more effectively than a chemical drain cleaner.

Kitchen Plumbing Work We Cover

Kitchen plumbing covers a broad set of jobs. Sink installations and replacements are among the most common — whether you are fitting a new worktop with an undermount sink, swapping an old Belfast sink for a modern stainless steel unit, or simply replacing a leaking waste trap. Our plumbers also connect and disconnect dishwashers and washing machines, ensuring waste hoses and supply connections are fitted correctly to prevent leaks.

Blocked kitchen sinks are a regular call-out in Huddersfield. Grease, food scraps, and soap residue build up inside the waste pipe and trap over time, eventually blocking the flow completely. Our plumbers clear these blockages using manual and mechanical methods, and can advise on preventing recurrence. For persistent kitchen drain problems, we may recommend a professional drain unblocking to clear the full waste run.

If you are having a new kitchen fitted and need all the plumbing done in one go — sink, taps, dishwasher, washing machine, and waste connections — our plumbers work alongside kitchen fitters to ensure everything is connected, tested, and leak-free before the kitchen is handed over. We also handle kitchen tap repairs and replacements as standalone jobs.

How Kitchen Plumbing Works

Tell Us What You Need

Describe the work required: a leaking sink, a new dishwasher connection, a full kitchen plumbing fit-out, or a blocked waste pipe. If you are working with a kitchen fitter, let us know the timeline so we can coordinate the plumbing around their schedule.

Site Visit and Quote

For larger jobs, the plumber visits to assess the existing plumbing layout, measure pipe runs, and check water pressure. For smaller repairs like a leaking trap or a tap replacement, the plumber can often diagnose and quote on arrival. All quotes are provided before work starts.

Installation or Repair

Work is carried out with minimal disruption. New sinks are fitted with waste traps, overflows, and tap connections. Appliance connections include check valves and correct waste hose routing. Repairs are completed and tested before the plumber leaves. All work is backed by our workmanship guarantee.
