Kitchen Sink Installation

What kitchen sink installation covers

Kitchen sink installation is a planned job focused on correct fit, reliable connections, and a neat, watertight finish.

• Isolating hot and cold water supplies before work starts
• Removing the old sink and waste (where required)
• Positioning and securing the new sink for stable support
• Connecting hot and cold feeds to the tap and valves
• Fitting the waste, trap and any overflow connections
• Sealing edges where needed to help prevent water ingress
• Testing for leaks and checking drainage flow
• Leaving the area clean and the sink ready to use

When this service is most useful

• You are replacing a cracked, stained or loose kitchen sink.
• You have had a new worktop fitted and need the sink connected correctly.
• The existing waste arrangement leaks or smells and needs redoing as part of the swap.
• You are refurbishing a rental property and want a dependable, compliant installation.
• You have a small commercial kitchenette that needs a reliable, hygienic setup.

How the installation is carried out

First, the pipework is checked and the water is isolated safely. The sink is then fitted and aligned, connections are made to the supplies and waste, and seals are finished neatly. Finally, the system is tested under flow to confirm there are no leaks and the sink drains properly.

If any hidden issues are found, such as a seized isolation valve, damaged pipework, or a non-standard waste layout, you will be talked through the options before any extra work is done.

After the installation

You will be shown the key points to keep an eye on, such as the waste trap and the cupboard pipework. It is sensible to re-check the cupboard for any signs of seepage over the next day or two, especially after heavy use. If you plan further upgrades, like a new tap or appliance connection, the layout can be set up to make future work straightforward.
