General Plumbing in Carrington
Kitchen Plumbing Carrington
Every kitchen job between the benchtop and the boundary line gets handled here: taps, sinks, dishwashers, gas lines and full renovation plumbing, all quoted before work starts. The complete service list sits on the Carrington home page.
General repairs and installs live at the general plumbing hub. Below is what a kitchen call usually involves on this peninsula.
What kitchen plumbing covers
Six jobs cover almost every kitchen call we get, and most of them happen inside Victorian and Federation-era cottages where space is tight and the pipes are older than the house.
Kitchen tap and mixer repairs
Dripping spouts, stiff mixers and worn washers get sorted on the spot. Salt air off the harbour chews chrome and brass faster than inland, so cartridges here often need swapping sooner.
Sink and waste connections
New sinks, waste connections and trap repairs, done with care where the kitchen waste ties into original earthenware drains under the floor, which need gentler handling than modern PVC.
Dishwashers and appliance plumbing
Dishwashers, water filters and fridge lines get connected properly, with isolation valves fitted so an appliance fault never floods a cottage kitchen while everyone is out at work.
Gas fitting for kitchens
Cooktop connections, bayonet points and gas line relocations are licensed work. Every job gets leak tested and certified, and the price is agreed before a single pipe gets moved.
Leak detection in kitchens
Cabinet leaks rot old floorboards fast. We trace the true source, whether it is a flexi hose, a mixer body or a supply pipe corroding behind the plaster.
Kitchen renovation plumbing
Full rough-ins for renovated kitchens: relocated sinks and gas lines, fresh supply runs and waste connections, coordinated with your other trades and quoted in full before the walls open.
Kitchens inside 1890s walls
The old houses set the rules here, and four things about them shape every kitchen job.
Choked supply lines.
The honest fix.
Ground that fills your trench.
Tight under-sink cavities.
Do not wait on this
When to call about the kitchen
Some faults can wait for a booked visit. These ones should not.
- Water pooling under the sink cabinet, even a small damp patch
- A tap that sputters or runs brown after the supply has been off
- Waste gurgling back up the sink when the washing machine drains
- A gas smell anywhere near the cooktop line
Any of those, ring us and describe what you are seeing.

Common questions about kitchen plumbing
How much does kitchen plumbing cost?
By the job, agreed in writing before we start. The call out costs nothing, you approve the quote first, and what you approve is what you pay.
Can you plumb a new island bench or relocated sink?
Yes. New supply and waste lines get run to wherever the bench sits, with the fall on the drain worked out properly, because flat ground here leaves no room for guesswork.
Why does my kitchen tap keep dripping after a new washer?
Usually the mixer cartridge, not the washer. Salt air wears chrome and brass fittings faster inland, so the cartridge is what actually needs replacing to stop the drip for good.
Do you connect dishwashers and fridge water lines?
Yes, along with water filters and ice maker lines. Every connection gets its own isolation valve, so a failed hose cannot quietly flood the floor while the house sits empty.
Can you move a gas line during a kitchen renovation?
Yes. Cooktop and bayonet relocations are licensed work, leak tested before the line goes back on, and priced with the rest of the renovation rather than as a late surprise.
Are older cottages harder to plumb a kitchen in?
They need a different plan, not a bigger budget. Supply line condition, waste falls and tight under-sink cavities all get checked before the quote, so nothing behind the wall surprises you.
