Kitchen Sink and Tap Installation in RH10

Project Overview

OnTime Plumbers London recently completed a full kitchen sink and tap installation in RH10, paired with a complete replacement of the property’s existing water supply and waste pipework. Rather than simply fitting a new sink onto old, worn plumbing, our plumbing team addressed the root cause of the property’s poor water flow — giving the customer a genuinely long-term fix rather than a cosmetic upgrade.

Kitchen sink and tap installations are one of the most common jobs we carry out, but they’re also one where cutting corners on the pipework causes the most repeat problems. This RH10 project is a good example of doing the job properly the first time.

The Problem: Old Pipework Causing Poor Water Flow

The property in RH10 had old and deteriorating pipework beneath the kitchen sink, which was restricting water flow and increasing the risk of leaks developing over time. The customer wanted more than a straightforward like-for-like swap — they asked for a new kitchen sink and tap along with an upgrade to the plumbing behind it, so the new fittings wouldn’t be let down by ageing pipework.

This is a common and sensible request. Fitting a new sink and tap onto old, corroded, or undersized pipework often means:

What Our Engineers Did

Our team carried out a complete, methodical replacement covering both the visible fittings and the pipework behind them:

Replacing the pipework alongside the sink and tap meant the customer wasn’t just getting new fittings — they were getting a plumbing setup built to perform reliably for years, not just look good on day one.

The Result

The kitchen now has a fully functional sink and tap, backed by brand-new pipework delivering smooth, consistent water flow and reliable drainage. The customer was very pleased with the clean, professional installation and the noticeable improvement in water pressure compared to the old setup.

Why Pipework Matters as Much as the Fittings

A shiny new tap can’t make up for pipework that’s restricting flow or close to failing. When we’re asked to install a new kitchen sink or tap, we always check the condition of the existing pipework first — because fitting new hardware onto compromised pipes is a false economy that usually leads to a second call-out down the line.

Signs it’s worth upgrading pipework alongside a sink or tap installation include:
