Kitchens in homes around Sudbury, Greater London

You will find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis throughout Greater London. Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley beside the side return, while conversion flats and mansion blocks usually fit the kitchen into a small room or along one living-room wall.

London's mains water is hard, so limescale builds quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth planning in. Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Sudbury, Greater London

Replacing a sink and tap needs no approval in England, but the plumbing should meet the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, including isolation valves and backflow protection. Connecting to an existing waste is routine, while a new connection to an underground drain involves building control. A new spur for a boiling water tap on an existing kitchen circuit is not notifiable under Part P, but it must meet BS 7671.

Conservation areas are widespread across London, so a new extractor vent on a front wall may need permission, and leaseholders usually need the freeholder's written consent first.

Getting the most from your sink and tap installation

Check the tap's hole size against the sink or worktop before ordering, as some taps need a larger hole than an existing sink provides.
Before buying a boiling water tap for your Sudbury, Greater London home, check its minimum water pressure and how much space it needs in the sink cupboard.
Choose the sink before stone worktops are templated in your Sudbury, Greater London kitchen, so the fabricator can cut and polish the undermount opening to suit it.
If a dishwasher or washing machine sits next to the sink, plan their waste connections and the trap layout together with the sink.

Do I need isolation valves under my kitchen sink?

They are strongly advised, and we fit them as standard. An isolation valve on each supply to the tap, and on each appliance supply, lets you turn off the water to one fitting without shutting off the whole house. That makes changing a tap cartridge or dealing with a leak far simpler. The valves are left where they can still be reached once the cupboard is in use.

What do I need for a boiling water tap?

A boiling water tap needs a tank in the cupboard under the sink, usually a socket or fused spur to power it, and often a filter, particularly where the water is hard. Some models have a minimum water pressure, so check yours before buying. The tap also needs a correctly sized hole in the sink or worktop and enough clear cupboard space for the tank and pipework.

Can a dishwasher and washing machine drain through the sink waste?

Yes, in most kitchens. The sink trap can take an appliance connection on a spigot, or a separate standpipe can be fitted. The appliance hose needs to rise to the height its manufacturer specifies before it drops to the waste, so dirty water cannot siphon back. Two appliances can usually share a double-spigot trap, which we plan with the sink.
