Kitchen plumbing in Shoreham-by-Sea for sink leaks, taps, traps, wastes, blocked pipes and appliance connections.
The kitchen sink works harder than almost any other fixture in the house. We repair sink leaks, traps, wastes, taps and appliance connections in Shoreham-by-Sea. We charge no call-out fee and agree a fixed price first.
Under a kitchen sink, there are many joints and hoses in a tight space. A trap that has loosened, or a hose that has perished, can leak slowly into the cupboard. Over time, that damages the base unit and the floor underneath.
We start by finding the source of the leak or the slow drain. Next, we check the tap, waste, trap, appliance connections and isolation valves. We then repair or replace the faulty part and test the flow.
Dishwashers and washing machines add their own connections, which can leak or smell. For example, a loose waste hose can seep behind the appliance for weeks. If your appliance is involved, tell us which one, and we check the feed and waste connections.
Shoreham-by-Sea lies on the River Adur, with Victorian terraces in the town, flats close to the water and homes on Shoreham Beach. Kitchens in flats and older houses are often compact, so we check that pipes and hoses are easy to reach before we start.
Plumbing faults rarely come alone, because one worn part often points to another nearby.

We find out whether the trap, valve or hose has failed. We then repair or replace the part you need. After that, we test the water flow so the sink and appliances work as they should.
Local tip: Do not pour fat, oil or food waste down the sink, because it sticks to the pipe and builds up. Coffee grounds cause trouble too. In hard-water areas, scale can make a narrow waste pipe block even sooner.
We repair appliance feeds, wastes, traps and isolation valves, and we fix leaks under the sink. If you need a new appliance connected, tell us when you request a quote. That lets us confirm what is possible before we visit.
Grease and food waste are the usual cause, because they coat the inside of the pipe. In hard-water areas, scale can narrow the pipe further. We clear the waste where we can and advise on how to stop it returning.
Kitchen leaks can stay hidden at the back of a cupboard. Therefore, it is worth emptying the space under the sink and looking for damp or staining. If you see any, tell us when you get in touch, since it helps us plan the repair.
