Kitchen and Laundry Plumbing Hampton Park

Kitchen plumbing

We install and replace sinks and mixers, connect dishwashers with the correct waste and isolation valve, run water lines for fridges with ice makers, and fit under-sink filters and boiling water taps. During kitchen renovations we move water, waste and gas points so they line up with the new cabinets.

Laundry plumbing

Laundries in older Hampton Park homes often have tired troughs, corroded taps and wastes that leak into the cabinet. We replace troughs and taps, fit new washing machine taps and hoses, clear blocked laundry wastes and install new laundry layouts in renovations.

Leaks in cabinets

A slow leak under a sink can rot the cabinet floor before you notice. We fix leaking wastes, traps and flexible hoses and replace hoses that are near the end of their life.

Kitchen renovations

We work with your cabinet maker or builder so water, waste and gas points are in the right place before cabinets go in, then return to fit the sink, tapware and appliances.

Laundry moves

Moving a laundry into the garage or a cupboard needs new water, waste and sometimes a pump. We plan it with you and make sure the drainage falls correctly.

Boiling and filtered water taps

These need a dedicated power point, a water connection with isolation valve and space in the cabinet for the unit. We plan the install so cabinet space is used well and the unit can be serviced easily.

Garbage disposal units

We install sink disposal units where the drainage suits them and advise when they would add to blockage risk on long or flat drain runs.

Dishwasher leaks

A leaking dishwasher can damage flooring quickly. We check the inlet hose, waste connection and the isolation valve and replace any worn parts.

We also replace old laundry taps with new quarter-turn valves that are easier for everyone to use, and fit new hoses at the same time.

Every connection is pressure-tested before the cabinets are closed up.

We can also move a fridge water point or add a tap for a filtered drinking water system during a kitchen update, so everything is ready when the new appliances arrive.

Hampton Park soil and pipes

Hampton Park sits on heavy grey clay over sandier ground towards Lyndhurst, and that clay swells in a wet winter and shrinks and cracks in a dry summer. The older homes west of Hallam Road were mostly connected with earthenware sewer pipe in short lengths, and every joint is a place for roots to get in once the ground moves. Galvanised steel water pipe from the same era rusts from the inside, narrowing the bore and eventually leaking. On the newer estates, PVC drains are tougher, but trenches that were not compacted properly can settle and leave dips that hold grease and paper. We use a drain camera and pressure testing to see what is actually happening rather than guessing.
