A kitchen sink is one of the most used fixtures in any household, which makes its proper installation crucial. At Citywide Plumbers, we understand that a professionally installed sink ensures efficient water flow, avoids leaks, and complements your kitchen design. But what exactly does a professional kitchen sink installation include?
1. Initial Assessment and Consultation
Our process begins with a thorough inspection of your kitchen layout. Our qualified plumber assesses water supply, drainage routes, and cabinet dimensions to determine the best sink size and type for your needs. We advise on suitable materials, whether stainless steel, composite granite, or ceramic.
2. Removal of Existing Fixtures
If you're replacing an old sink, we safely disconnect and remove it. Care is taken to avoid damaging your countertop, pipes, or surrounding cabinets. Any old sealant or worn-out fittings are also cleared to make way for new components.
3. Pipework and Plumbing Adjustments
Whether it's a like-for-like swap or a complete kitchen redesign, adjustments are often required. Our team handles all pipework realignment, including hot and cold water feeds, waste traps, and overflow connections. We ensure compliance with UK plumbing regulations and maintain proper fall on waste pipes to prevent blockages.
4. Sink Mounting and Sealing
Citywide Plumbers installs all types of sinks—top-mount, under-mount, and flush-mount—with precision. We use durable sealants to waterproof the sink edges and prevent water ingress that could lead to mould or cabinet damage.
5. Tap and Accessory Installation
We connect your kitchen taps, whether mixer or dual handle, to the mains and test for leaks. Accessories such as water filters, boiling water taps, or built-in soap dispensers can also be installed as requested.
6. Waste Disposal and Overflow Connection
Our plumbers fit the waste disposal unit if included and ensure correct installation of the basket strainer, trap, and overflow pipes. All joints are tested for watertightness.
7. Final Inspection and Cleanup
Before we complete the job, a detailed final check is carried out. We inspect for leaks, secure all connections, and clean the workspace thoroughly. You receive a full explanation of the setup, maintenance advice, and tips for efficient usage.
