What's Not Included in a Kitchen Plumbing Quote

Not Included / Costed Separately

  • The sink, tap, appliance, water softener or filter unit itself - our price covers fitting and connection, not the cost of the fixture, unless it's part of a full kitchen supply package
  • Gas connections for a hob or range cooker - these are carried out and commissioned separately by our Gas Safe registered engineers, not the general plumbing team
  • Electrical work needed to power appliances such as a waste disposal unit or instant hot water tap - this is done by our Part P registered electricians, who issue their own safety certificate
  • Structural work such as cutting a concrete floor or moving a wall to run pipework for an island - this gets priced once we've seen the site, not included as standard

Booking a Plumber Alone vs Having It Fitted as Part of the Team

What matters Booking a plumber separately Derby Kitchen Fitter
Kitchen-specific qualifications Plumbing quality depends on who you find Plumbers qualified to NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds, working as part of the fitting team
Gas hob or range cooker connection A separate Gas Safe callout to arrange yourself Gas Safe registered engineers on the same job, booked and done together
Old pipework and fittings You arrange separate waste disposal Registered waste carrier - old fittings and pipework removed and disposed of legally
Timing against the rest of the kitchen fit You coordinate dates between plumber and fitter yourself Plumbing scheduled inside the same project-managed fit
Guarantee on the plumbing connections Depends on the individual tradesperson Covered by the 5-year labour and installation guarantee

What a Plumber-Led Kitchen Fit Protects You From

A kitchen plumbing job carries a different kind of pressure to a bathroom or a boiler swap: every pipe run has to survive being boxed in behind a fitted carcass, the sink and tap have to seat dead level under a worktop that's already been cut and jointed, and once the units either side are screwed down there's no room to redo a joint without pulling something apart again. That's the reason the connections on every job are carried out by plumbers qualified to NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds, working from the same drawings as the joiners cutting the carcasses and the worktop fitters templating around the sink bowl, so a pipe run gets agreed before a cabinet is built around it rather than adjusted afterwards. Where a hob or range cooker needs a gas connection, that work is handed to a Gas Safe registered engineer to connect and commission, and any power needed for a waste disposal unit or instant hot water tap goes to a Part P registered electrician who issues their own certificate for it. Every connection is checked before the crew moves off site, backed by a 5-year labour and installation guarantee, and old pipework comes out with a registered waste carrier rather than getting left under the sink for someone else to deal with. The company is also a member of CITB and FSB.

Kitchen Plumbing Across Derby and the Derbyshire Market Towns

As well as Derby itself, we cover Derbyshire towns including Belper, Duffield, Wirksworth, Matlock and Chesterfield, alongside Nottingham and the other areas listed above. Housing age varies a good deal across that patch, and older properties sometimes still have galvanised steel supply pipes that are worth replacing while the kitchen's opened up - something we flag during the initial visit rather than leaving as a surprise once the units are in. Out towards the Peak District edge of that area, around Matlock, Wirksworth and Bakewell, the water coming through those older pipes tends to be noticeably harder than it is in Derby itself, because of the limestone bedrock underneath - it's worth knowing about because it shortens the working life of mixer taps and integrated dishwashers, and it's the kind of thing we'll sometimes flag as worth an inline scale filter while the plumbing's already opened up, rather than retrofitting one later.
