General Plumbing in Hamilton
Kitchen Plumbing Hamilton
The kitchen works harder than any other plumbing in the house. Sinks fill, drains collect grease, taps get leaned on every day, and when something lets go it usually happens mid-cooking.
That is what this page covers: the kitchen side of the work we do around Hamilton. Every service here sits inside the general plumbing run.
What kitchen plumbing covers
Four jobs make up most of the kitchen calls we get.
Sink and drain plumbing
A kitchen sink sends grease, scraps and hot water down into drains that were never sized for it. We clear the choke, fix slow emptying and renew worn traps.
Taps, mixers and leaks
Years of leaning on a mixer lever wear the cartridge out, and old spindles on original taps drip constantly. We swap cartridges, reseal bodies and fit new tapware.
Appliance connections
Dishwashers, water filters and instant hot taps all need proper supply and waste connections plumbed in. Every joint gets checked with the machine running before we leave.
The dishwasher installation page covers that job from the tap connection to the waste hose.
Renovation plumbing and gas
New benchtops, moved sinks and upgraded cooktops all change the pipework behind the walls. We run the rough-in, connect fixtures and handle the gas line to cooktops safely.
Cooktop connections sit inside our gas fitting service, done with the same quote-first process.
Kitchens inside the older homes
Plenty of Federation and Victorian cottages here carry pipework far older than the kitchen benchtop above it. Under the sink, that age shows in specific ways.
Galvanised supply lines.
Clay drainage.
What it means for your job.

When to call about a kitchen problem
Some faults announce themselves loudly and some creep up. Watch for:
- A sink that drains slowly or gurgles as it empties
- Grease or food smell rising back out of the drain
- Water under the benchtop, in the cabinet or on the floor
- A tap that drips no matter how firmly you close it
- A noticeable drop in pressure at the kitchen tap alone
- A dishwasher leaking from the door, the hose or the connection
The pressure drop deserves a mention. When one tap runs weak but the house is fine, the fault usually sits local to that line, and leak detection finds exactly where before any wall opens.
Grease and stormwater pressures
Kitchens here deal with two pressures newer suburbs escape.
Grease from the dining strip.
Rain from above.
If surcharging follows every big downpour, the drainage hub and the blocked sewer service explain what is happening and how it gets fixed.
How the job runs
Every kitchen job follows the same four steps, whether it is a dripping mixer or a full renovation rough-in.

Kitchen questions we hear a lot
Can you clear a greasy kitchen sink?
Yes. Kitchen sinks here deal with fat, scraps and, in the older streets, clay drains roots have already found. We clear the choke with the right method and flush it clean.
Do you install dishwashers and other kitchen appliances?
We do. That covers the supply connection, the waste hose into the trap and a leak check under load before we leave. Our dishwasher installation page carries the full detail.
Is old galvanised pipework a problem under the sink?
It can be. Pre-war cottages commonly run galvanised supply lines that corrode inside and choke flow. We renew the worn sections in copper and say plainly when a fuller repipe is due.
Do you connect gas cooktops?
Yes, gas fitting is licensed work we handle. Cooktop connections, supply lines and compliance paperwork all come with the price agreed before any work starts, the same as every water job.
Can you handle plumbing for a cafe or restaurant kitchen?
We can. Commercial kitchens carry heavier loads, grease especially, and we work with hospitality premises across the run. Our commercial plumbing page covers that side of the trade in full.
How does quoting work for a kitchen job?
You get the price before anything starts. There is no call-out fee, and you either approve the quote or we shake hands and leave without charging a cent for the visit.
