Sink Installation You Can Rely On

A new sink can transform how your kitchen, bathroom, or utility room looks and works. Whether you are upgrading for style, replacing a cracked basin, or fitting a deeper model for everyday convenience, correct installation matters. A poorly fitted sink can lead to hidden leaks, swollen cabinets, damaged worktops, and ongoing drainage issues. Our team installs sinks carefully and cleanly, with attention to alignment, sealing, and long term reliability.

What We Install and Replace

Every home and business has different needs, so we handle a wide range of sink types and setups. We can install a like for like replacement or modify pipework to suit a new layout. If you are unsure what will fit, we can advise on sizing, bowl depth, tap hole placement, and compatibility with existing plumbing before work begins.

  • Kitchen sinks including single bowl, double bowl, and deep utility styles
  • Bathroom basins including pedestal, wall hung, and vanity mounted sinks
  • Undermount, top mount, and farmhouse sinks with correct cutout and sealing approach
  • Commercial and staff room sinks where durability and compliance are essential
  • Tap and waste upgrades including new traps, strainers, and supply hoses

If your project is part of a wider renovation, we can coordinate the sink fitting with other plumbing installation services so everything works together and finishes neatly.

Our Sink Installation Process

Professional installation is more than connecting two pipes. We focus on a secure fit, leak prevention, smooth drainage, and a tidy finish. For each job we confirm the sink model, check existing pipe locations, and ensure isolation valves are present and functional. We protect surrounding surfaces and work with care to avoid damage to cabinets and worktops.

Step by step approach

  1. Assessment and preparation including measuring, checking clearances, and confirming pipe sizes
  2. Safe shut off of hot and cold water supplies, with controlled drainage of remaining water
  3. Removal of the old unit where applicable, including careful disconnection of the waste and taps
  4. Fitting the new sink with correct supports, clips, or brackets and stable positioning
  5. Sealing and finishing using appropriate sealant to prevent water ingress around edges
  6. Waste connection with correctly sloped pipework, secure joints, and a trap suited to the setup
  7. Testing including hot and cold run tests, drainage tests, and leak checks under working pressure

We can also install or reconnect taps during the visit, and we will confirm smooth flow and temperature control. If we discover corroded valves, worn hoses, or unsuitable traps, we will explain the options clearly before proceeding with any additional work.

Common Problems We Prevent

Many sink issues start with small installation mistakes that grow over time. Our goal is to prevent the problems that lead to repeat callouts and expensive repairs. We use quality fittings and take the time to seat seals correctly, align pipework, and confirm stability.

  • Slow draining caused by incorrect trap installation or poor pipe gradient
  • Persistent odours from an improperly fitted trap or loose connections
  • Leaks inside cabinets due to poor sealing, cracked fittings, or cross threaded joints
  • Loose or rocking sinks from missing supports or incorrect mounting hardware
  • Water damage around edges from insufficient sealing or movement over time

If you already have a leak, blocked waste, or damaged connections, we can combine installation with targeted sink repair services to restore proper function and protect the surrounding area.

Residential and Commercial Sink Fitting

We provide sink installation for homes, landlords, retailers, offices, and other premises. Residential projects often focus on appearance, cabinet protection, and quiet reliable drainage. Commercial installations often require heavy duty fittings, higher usage tolerance, and quick turnaround to minimise downtime. Whatever the setting, we aim for a clean finish, clear communication, and a system that performs well day after day.

For larger fit outs or ongoing property care, we can support you with broader professional plumbing services including replacements, upgrades, and troubleshooting when something does not feel right.

What to Prepare Before Your Appointment

A little preparation helps the installation go smoothly. If possible, clear the space under the sink and remove stored items. If you have already purchased the sink and tap, keep all parts and manuals nearby so we can confirm nothing is missing. If worktop cutouts or cabinet alterations are required, let us know in advance so we can advise on the best approach.

  • Confirm the sink model and mounting type
  • Check whether the tap and waste kit are included
  • Share photos of the existing setup if you have them
  • Tell us about any ongoing leaks, poor drainage, or low water pressure

When the job is complete, we will walk you through the finished installation, show you the shut off points, and leave the area clean and ready to use.

FAQ

Do I need to buy the sink and tap before booking an installation?

You can, but it is not required. If you already have the items, share the model details and photos of your current setup so compatibility can be confirmed. If you have not purchased yet, you can get guidance on sizing, mounting style, and waste kit requirements.

How do I know if my new sink will fit my existing worktop or vanity?

Measure the cabinet width, internal depth, and the current cutout size, then compare with the manufacturer specs. Undermount and farmhouse sinks often need specific support and cutout dimensions. If you are unsure, provide measurements and photos so the fit can be checked before installation day.

What should I do if I notice a leak after the sink is installed?

Turn off the water using the isolation valves under the sink if available, then dry the area to limit damage. Avoid using the sink until the source is identified, as small drips can quickly swell cabinets. Arrange a prompt inspection so seals, traps, and supply connections can be corrected safely.
