Kitchen Plumbing Edgeworth
Kitchens put more through the pipes than any other room in the house. Kitchen plumbing covers the lot: sinks, mixers, dishwasher connections, gas cooktops, and the waste lines that slowly clog under years of grease and food scraps.
The team behind this page is the same one you'll meet through Edgeworth. Every job starts with a $0 call out and a quote before any tool comes out of the van.
What a kitchen plumbing job covers
A kitchen job is rarely one thing. The tap drips, then the sink drains slowly, then someone wants a dishwasher fitted where there wasn't one. The jobs we book most weeks break down like this:
Sinks, mixers and tap repairs
A worn cartridge, a cracked spout washer or a sagging sink waste gets fixed on the spot, because we carry the common parts on the truck rather than ordering them after.
Dishwasher and appliance connections
Water supply, waste connection and correct securing all come with the install, and the dedicated dishwasher installation page carries the detail on how the booking runs from quote to fit-off.
Gas cooktops and oven lines
Any gas job needs a licensed fitter, and our gas fitting service covers new cooktop connections, old appliance disconnections and the compliance checks that come with any kitchen gas job.
Blocked kitchen drains and waste lines
Grease, food scraps and coffee grounds line the kitchen pipe wall, so slow-draining sinks get cleared properly with the right gear instead of a short-term poke from the supermarket shelf.
Leak detection under the sink and slab
Water where it shouldn't be gets traced properly, and our leak detection work finds the source behind cupboards or under slabs without gutting the whole kitchen to get to it.
Renovation rough-ins and fit-offs
New sink positions, island benches and relocated appliances need supply and waste rerun, so we rough in, pressure test, then fit off once your cabinets and benchtops are in place.
Why kitchens here need their own approach
The housing stock tells you what a kitchen job involves before the van door opens. The big building wave ran through the 1960s to 80s, when the former Young Wallsend colliery land was carved up for the brick-veneer family homes that dominate the suburb.
Original waste lines
Grease meets rough joints
Different era, different jobs
Reactive ground
So a slow sink in one of the older houses gets treated as a drain question, not just a plunger question.
Every job starts the same way

Backed, no questions asked
If something isn't up to standard afterwards, we come back and make it right, no questions asked. That's the standard every Edgeworth job is held to.
Signs it's time to ring
Some kitchen problems can wait a week. These ones shouldn't:
- The sink drains slower every time, even after hot water and detergent
- Water reappears in the sink when the washing machine drains
- A damp cupboard floor or swollen kickboard under the sink
- Grease smells from the drain that keep coming back
- A tap that drips hard enough to stain the basin
The earlier any of these gets booked, the smaller the job stays. A grease-lined waste line cleared today is a fraction of the job it becomes once roots are through the joint and the line needs cutting.

Kitchen plumbing questions, answered
Can you fix a kitchen sink that drains slowly?
Yes. Most slow sinks trace back to grease and food waste coating the trap and waste line, so we clear the whole run rather than poking at the first blockage we find.
Do you install dishwashers and connect them to the drain?
We do. The install covers the water supply, the waste connection and securing the unit, and our dishwasher installation page sets out how a full booking runs start to finish.
Can you run gas to a new cooktop or oven?
Yes. Licensed gas fitting covers connecting new cooktops and ovens, disconnecting the old appliance, and leaving you with the compliance paperwork any home gas work requires.
My mixer tap drips. Is it worth repairing?
Usually. Most drips come from a worn cartridge, and we carry common sizes on the truck, so a same-visit fix is normal. If the tap body has failed, we quote a replacement first.
Why does the kitchen drain block more than the bathroom one?
Kitchen lines carry grease and food scraps that coat the pipe wall. In the older streets, that coating catches roots entering aged clay joints, and the line closes up over time.
Do you work on the newer townhouse kitchens as well?
We do. Townhouse kitchens run compact sink and appliance connections on newer PVC, so the jobs there differ from the older houses but are just as routine for our team.
