Tap Installation

What tap installation covers

A planned visit to fit or replace taps on a sink, basin or bath, with everything connected and tested before we leave.

• Isolation of hot and cold supplies before work starts
• Removal of the existing tap and cleaning the fixing area
• Fitting the new tap securely so it sits straight and stable
• Connection to existing pipework and flexible hoses (where suitable)
• Check and adjustment of flow and hot and cold operation
• Leak testing under working pressure
• Basic guidance on use and care, especially for mixer and ceramic cartridge taps

When tap installation is most useful

This service is ideal if your tap is dripping, stiff to operate, loose at the base, or no longer mixes temperature properly. It also suits kitchen and bathroom updates, end of tenancy refreshes, and small commercial washroom improvements where reliability matters.

How the installation is carried out

We start by isolating the water supplies and confirming the best approach for your existing plumbing. The old tap is removed, the new tap is fixed in place, and connections are made neatly and securely. Finally, we restore the water, run the tap through hot and cold, and check joints and valves carefully for leaks.

After the job

Once installed, the tap should operate smoothly with consistent flow and no drips. If we spot issues such as seized isolation valves or worn connectors that could affect reliability, we will explain the options clearly so you can decide how you want to proceed.
