If you're designing a new dream kitchen, or updating an existing one, there are a few things to consider when plumbing a kitchen.
Before purchasing all the latest kitchen appliances and fittings it’s important to plan the design with the help of professionals, like a carpenter, local plumber or electrician. They can assist with your project by advising from previous installation experience. Most tradesmen will offer a free consultation.
Consider the current water and drainage system in your kitchen.
Depending on your overall requirements and appliance choices, the drainage and water supply can have a big impact on the overall design and cost of plumbing a kitchen. Many manufacturers also recommended that all taps and appliances are fitted by a qualified plumber to validate the warranty.
Gas, electrics, water pressure and drainage will all play a big role in the final kitchen design and layout. Safely replacing, reconnecting and decommissioning existing supply lines and fittings will all need to be considered and carried out to avoid costly future repairs.
