Kitchen Plumbing & Appliances
Sinks, taps, under-sink leaks, washing machine and dishwasher connections, outdoor taps.
Kitchens hide a lot of plumbing in a small space. Under-sink leaks are the most common call we get — usually a failed flexi tail, a loose compression joint or a waste trap that has been knocked out of line by whatever is stored in the cupboard.
We also plumb in appliances properly, with isolation valves fitted so the next repair does not mean turning the whole house off.

Each of these has its own page explaining the symptoms, what we do about it and what it costs you to find out.
Washing Machine Installation
Plumbing in a washing machine looks easy right up until the old valve won't budge, the waste pipe is the wrong height, or the new machine leaks the first time it fills. I install and reconnect washing machines across Oldham and the surrounding area, fixing the pipework properly rather than just pushing hoses on and hoping.Read more →Dishwasher Installation
Dishwashers cause a disproportionate number of under-sink leaks for such a small appliance, usually because the waste connection was never sealed properly or the machine wasn't levelled. I plumb in new dishwashers and fix existing connections across Oldham and the surrounding area.Read more →Outdoor Taps
Outdoor taps take a battering from frost, hosepipes left attached over winter, and years of general neglect, and a lot of the ones I see have no way to isolate or drain them down at all. I fit new outdoor taps and repair or replace failed ones across Oldham and the surrounding area, with proper isolation built in.Read more →Under-Sink Leaks
A puddle under the sink is rarely where the actual leak is — water tracks along pipes and cabinet bases before it pools, so the wet patch you find isn't always above the fault. I trace and fix under-sink leaks in kitchens and bathrooms across Oldham and the surrounding area, and I check for the damage the leak has already caused before I close the cabinet back up.Read more →

Common questions
Can you plumb in an appliance in a kitchen with no spare valve?
Yes. We will cut in a proper appliance valve rather than leaving you with an unisolated connection.
My cupboard is damp but I cannot see a leak. Can you find it?
Usually. Slow weeps from compression joints and flexi tails often only show as damp chipboard. We trace it back to the source rather than guessing.
Do you connect gas cookers or hobs?
No. We do not carry out any gas or boiler work at all — water and waste plumbing only.
