Kitchen Plumbing Considerations You Should Know About
There's a lot to think about with kitchen plumbing. Here's what we check:
Water Pressure Assessment
Before fitting any taps or appliances, we check your water pressure. Too low, and your dishwasher might not work properly. Too high, and you could damage your pipes over time.
Pipe Sizing and Capacity
Getting the right size pipes matters. Too small, and your sink takes ages to drain. We make sure everything's properly sized for how you'll use your kitchen.
Isolation Valve Positioning
Ever had a plumbing emergency and couldn't turn the water off? We fit isolation valves in sensible places so you can easily switch off the water to specific appliances without affecting the whole house.
Waste Water Management
Nobody wants smelly drains or gurgling pipes. We design your kitchen plumbing layout so waste water flows away properly, with proper venting to prevent nasty smells backing up.
Water Quality Solutions
Derby water can be quite hard, which isn't great for appliances. We can install water softeners or filters to protect your equipment and improve water taste.
Leak Prevention Strategies
Small leaks cause big problems over time. We use quality materials and proper techniques to make sure your kitchen plumbing stays dry and reliable.
Accessibility for Maintenance
Plumbing sometimes needs maintenance. We design systems so the important bits can be reached without ripping out half your kitchen.
Building Regulation Compliance
There are rules about how kitchen plumbing should be installed. We know them all and make sure your installation is safe and legal.

"The team at Derby Kitchen Fitter made installing a kitchen in our new extension so easy. The plumber really knew his stuff - he suggested moving the sink position slightly which saved us having to add extra pipework and saved us money. Everything was fitted perfectly and works brilliantly." - Mark from Long Eaton
Kitchen Sink Plumbing – Getting It Right
Your kitchen sink is probably the most used plumbing fixture in the house. Getting the kitchen sink plumbing right matters for:
- Proper drainage without blockages
- No leaks damaging your units
- Easy access for future maintenance
We specialise in kitchen sink installation of all types. Whether you're after a classic stainless steel sink, composite granite, or ceramic, we'll sort the plumbing to match.
The kitchen sink pipework needs to include properly sized traps and waste pipes. We make sure everything's connected right so you don't get drainage problems later on.
Kitchen Island Plumbing – Special Considerations
Adding a sink to your kitchen island? It's a bit trickier than a standard wall-mounted sink, but we've done loads of them.
Kitchen island plumbing needs special attention for:
- Running water supply pipes under the floor
- Installing proper venting for waste pipes
- Making sure drainage has enough fall
- Keeping access panels for maintenance
We've solved kitchen island plumbing challenges in all sorts of homes across Derby, from old cottages to new builds. Whatever your kitchen layout, we can make the plumbing work.

Common Kitchen Plumbing Questions
Do Kitchen Fitters In Derby Handle Plumbing?
Some do, some don't. Many kitchen fitters focus just on fitting the units and worktops. At Derby Kitchen Fitter, we handle the whole job including all plumbing work. Our team includes qualified plumbers who understand how kitchen plumbing needs to be integrated with your new units.
How Much Does It Cost To Move Kitchen Plumbing In Derby?
Moving kitchen plumbing costs depend on how far things need to move and what's involved. For a typical kitchen sink relocation within the same room, expect to pay between £300-600, which usually includes:
- New water supply pipes
- New waste pipes
- Capping off old connections
- Testing the new system
But every job's different. We're happy to provide a free, no-obligation quote for your specific project.
Can Sink And Dishwasher Locations Be Changed In A Kitchen Renovation?
Yes, absolutely! One of the big benefits of a full kitchen renovation is being able to put things where they work best for you, not just where the original plumbing happens to be.
We often relocate sinks, dishwashers, and washing machines as part of kitchen renovations. Sometimes just moving a sink from under a window to an island can transform how you use the space.
The job might involve:
- Running new water supply pipes
- Installing new waste pipes with correct falls
- Making sure ventilation is adequate
- Possibly some floor work if pipes run under the floor
Do I Need A Qualified Plumber For Kitchen Installation In Derby?
For the plumbing aspects, yes. While you might be able to DIY some parts of a kitchen installation, the plumbing is best left to professionals. Poor plumbing can lead to leaks (sometimes hidden inside walls or under floors), which can cause thousands of pounds of damage.
A qualified plumber will:
- Install everything to current regulations
- Test the system properly
- Use appropriate materials
- Provide guarantees for their work
Plus, insurance companies often won't cover water damage if the plumbing wasn't installed by a qualified person.
What Plumbing Regulations Apply To Kitchen Installations?
Several regulations apply to kitchen plumbing, including:
- Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999
- Building Regulations Part G (Sanitation, hot water safety)
- Regulations about backflow prevention
- Rules about waste pipe gradients and sizes
There are also specific rules about:
- Distances between electrical points and water
- How dishwashers and washing machines must be connected
- Requirements for waste disposal units
We stay up to date with all these regulations so you don't have to worry about it.
How Long Does Kitchen Plumbing Work Typically Take?
For straightforward work like replacing a tap or connecting a dishwasher, usually just a few hours. For a complete kitchen renovation with new plumbing throughout, the plumbing elements typically take 1-2 days within the overall project.
Factors that affect timing include:
- Whether floors or walls need opening up
- Access to existing pipework
- Any unexpected issues discovered
- Complexity of the new layout
We always try to give realistic timeframes and stick to them.
What's Involved In Installing A Kitchen Island With Plumbing?
Installing a kitchen island with plumbing is more complex than standard kitchen plumbing because:
- Water supply pipes usually need to come up through the floor
- Waste pipes need enough fall to drain properly
- Proper venting is needed to prevent drainage gurgling
- Access panels should be included for future maintenance
The process typically involves:
- Planning the exact position of the island and sink
- Working out the best routes for pipes
- Possibly cutting concrete floors
- Installing new supply and waste pipes
- Creating suitable access points
- Connecting and testing everything
Can Old Plumbing Pipes Be Reused During A Kitchen Renovation?
Sometimes, but it depends on:
- The age and condition of the pipes
- What material they're made from
- Whether they're in the right position for your new layout
- Current regulations
Older galvanised steel pipes are usually best replaced as they often have internal corrosion that restricts water flow. Copper pipes in good condition can sometimes be reused.
We assess existing plumbing during our initial visit and advise what can stay and what should be replaced.
What Water Pressure Issues Might Affect My Kitchen Plumbing?
Several water pressure issues can affect how well your kitchen plumbing works:
Low pressure problems:
- Taps with poor flow
- Dishwashers taking too long to fill
- Inconsistent mixer tap temperature
High pressure problems:
- Noisy pipes
- Damage to appliances over time
- Leaks at connection points
We check your water pressure as part of our service and can recommend solutions like pressure reducers for high pressure or booster pumps for low pressure situations.
Do I Need Water Filtration Systems In My Kitchen?
You don't absolutely need them, but many Derby homes benefit from water filtration systems because:
- They can improve the taste of drinking water
- They remove impurities and some chemicals
- They help reduce limescale build-up in appliances
- They can extend the life of your taps and appliances
We install various types of water filter systems, from simple under-sink filters for drinking water to whole-house systems that protect all your plumbing and appliances.
