Faucet Installation

A new faucet can change how your kitchen or bathroom feels every day. Whether you are upgrading for style, improving water efficiency, or replacing a dripping fixture, correct installation matters for comfort and long term reliability. Our team installs faucets neatly and securely, with careful attention to sealing, alignment, and water pressure so you can use your sink with confidence.

What We Install and Replace

We handle straightforward replacements and more detailed upgrades for homes, apartments, offices, and retail spaces. If you have already chosen a model, we can install it, and if you are unsure what will fit, we can help confirm compatibility before work begins.

• Kitchen faucets including pull out, pull down, single lever, and two handle styles
• Bathroom basin taps including mono mixers and widespread sets
• Utility and laundry sink taps for high use areas
• Filtered water and drinking taps where plumbing setup allows
• Touchless and smart faucets with safe power and connection checks

We also replace worn shut off valves, flexible supply lines, and sealing components when needed, which prevents future leaks and makes maintenance easier.

Our Installation Process

Pre installation checks

Before removing the old fixture, we inspect the sink and surrounding plumbing for corrosion, unstable mounting points, and signs of previous leaks. We confirm tap hole size, spacing, and clearance for handles, pull out hoses, and backsplashes. If there is low pressure or slow flow, we can recommend additional checks through our plumbing inspection services to avoid installing a new faucet onto an unresolved issue.

Removal and preparation

Old faucets often seize due to mineral buildup or rusted hardware. We remove the fixture carefully to avoid damaging the sink, countertop, or vanity. The mounting surface is cleaned so new seals sit flat, and we replace any degraded washers or gaskets to reduce the risk of weeping around the base.

Installation and leak testing

We set the faucet level, tighten mounting hardware to the correct tension, and connect new supply lines where appropriate. All connections are checked for proper seating, and we restore water gradually while monitoring for drips at every joint. We also flush the lines to clear trapped debris, then verify smooth handle operation, correct temperature mixing, and consistent flow.

If the job reveals related problems like a damaged angle valve, tired pipework, or hidden seepage, we can address it with the right plumbing repair services so the finished installation is dependable, not just cosmetic.

Common Problems We Solve During Faucet Installation

Many faucet replacements uncover issues that have been developing quietly for years. Resolving them during installation can prevent water damage and reduce future callouts.

• Leaking shut off valves that will not fully close or that drip when touched
• Cross threaded or mismatched fittings from previous DIY work
• Low pressure caused by clogged aerators, kinked hoses, or partially blocked valves
• Worn supply lines that should be replaced rather than reused
• Loose or unstable faucets due to failed mounting plates or thin sink decks

For properties with older plumbing, we can also advise on sensible upgrades that improve reliability, such as modern valves and braided hoses rated for domestic use.

Residential and Commercial Faucet Installation

Home installations focus on comfort, water efficiency, and protecting cabinets and finishes. We take extra care with delicate materials like stone counters, ceramic basins, and integrated sinks. For landlords and property managers, we can standardise models across units for easier maintenance and faster future replacements.

For businesses, speed and compliance matter. We can schedule work to reduce downtime and ensure fixtures are secure, easy to operate, and appropriate for staff or customer washrooms. If you need coordinated work beyond a single tap, explore our plumbing installation services for broader plumbing updates.

How to Prepare for Your Appointment

1. Clear the area under the sink so we can reach valves and connections safely.
2. If you already have a faucet, keep the box and any included parts together.
3. Tell us if you have noticed leaks, mould smells, or cabinet swelling near the sink.
4. Point out any access restrictions, like tight vanity doors or built in shelving.

After installation, we leave the area tidy and show you how to use key features like pull out sprayers, temperature limiters, and aerator cleaning. If you have any questions about care or warranty steps, we will walk you through them so your new faucet stays in great condition for years to come.
