Our Tap Installation Process
Our professional tap installation ensures leak-free, reliable performance. We begin by shutting off your water supply and removing the existing tap carefully to prevent damage to your sink or worktop. Before fitting the new tap, we clean the mounting area thoroughly and check the water supply pipes for any issues. The new tap is secured with proper sealing to prevent future leaks, with all connections tightened correctly. After installation, we turn the water back on gradually, checking all connections for leaks, and test the tap thoroughly for proper function and water flow. The entire process typically takes 30-90 minutes depending on complexity, and we clean up completely when finished.
