Kitchen Plumbing Installation Mansfield
Welcome to Kudos Kitchens plumbing services! Your kitchen's water system needs the right touch – and we've got the hands to make it happen. We handle everything from simple tap fixes to complete kitchen plumbing systems across Mansfield and places like Nottingham, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, and Sutton-in-Ashfield. We are your kitchen fitting specialists.
Water is the Heart of Your Kitchen
Let's be honest – your kitchen won't work without water. From washing veg to filling pots, cleaning dishes to making coffee, good plumbing makes life easier.
But bad plumbing? That's where nightmares begin. Leaks, blockages, and poor water flow can ruin your kitchen experience faster than burnt toast ruins breakfast.
"I've seen kitchen nightmares caused by DIY plumbing gone wrong," says Michael from Kudos Kitchens. "One Mansfield customer had water damage on their new cabinets just weeks after installation because pipes weren't properly sealed. That's thousands of pounds of damage that could have been avoided."
As a family business serving Mansfield since 2022, we understand how important reliable water is in your kitchen. We got started because we saw too many people dealing with dodgy kitchen installations – including bad plumbing work that caused headaches later.
Kitchen Plumbing Services We Provide
Every kitchen has unique plumbing needs. Whether you're renovating an old space in Rainworth or fitting a brand new kitchen in Clipstone, we've got you covered with our range of services:
Sink and Tap InstallationThe centre of your kitchen's water system is the sink and tap combo. We install everything from basic mixer taps to fancy pull-out spray models. "Emma and Michael installed our new kitchen sink last month. They helped us pick a tap that matched our kitchen style perfectly. The water pressure is brilliant, and there's not been a single drip!" - Diana from Sutton-in-Ashfield Our expert plumbers make sure:

Dishwasher ConnectionGot a new dishwasher? We'll hook it up right the first time. Many people don't realise dishwashers need both water supply and drainage connections – plus they need special attention to avoid leaks. We even install integrated dishwashers as part of complete kitchen refits. Our Mansfield customers love how we hide all the plumbing for a clean look. |
Water Filtration SystemsWant better tasting water? We install under-sink filters that deliver cleaner, tastier water without plastic bottles. "The water filter system Kudos fitted has been brilliant. My tea tastes better, and we've stopped buying bottled water. It's saved us money already!" - James from Worksop |
Waste Disposal UnitsFood waste units make cleaning up easier – but they need proper installation to work right. We fit in-sink waste disposers that grind food scraps so they won't block your pipes. |
Refrigerator Water LinesIf your fridge has a water dispenser or ice maker, you need a proper water line. We run dedicated supply pipes to your fridge, making sure they're hidden and secure. |
Quality Fixtures and Fittings
The parts we use matter as much as how we fit them. At Kudos Kitchens, we only use quality materials that will stand the test of time.
Premium Sink and Tap Options
We work with Symphony kitchens who offer Rangemaster sinks and taps – a UK brand that's been making sinks for over 90 years. These are built to last and come with long warranties (25 years for stainless steel sinks!).
"We wanted something special for our sink area. Michael showed us options we never knew existed, including a stunning granite composite sink that's so easy to keep clean." - Paula from Newark-on-Trent
Our sink options include:
- Stainless steel (durable and easy to clean)
- Granite composite (tough and modern looking)
- Ceramic (beautiful traditional style)
And our taps range from simple mixers to fancy models with pull-out hoses, filtered water functions, or boiling water on demand.
Water-Efficient Fixtures
We help you save water (and money) by installing water-efficient taps and fixtures. Modern kitchen taps can reduce water use by up to 50% without affecting performance.
Leak Prevention Technology
Nobody wants a leak! That's why we use:
- High quality compression fittings
- Push-fit connectors for reliable joins
- Proper pipe supports to prevent movement
- Pressure tested systems before sign-off
Flexible Supply Lines
We use braided stainless steel flexible water lines that:
- Resist bursting under pressure
- Allow for natural movement
- Last longer than plastic tubes
- Are easier to replace if needed
Accessible Isolation Valves
Every good plumbing job includes accessible shut-off valves. We fit quarter-turn isolation valves under your sink so you can quickly turn off water if there's ever a problem.
Technical Bits to Consider
Kitchen plumbing isn't just about connecting pipes - there's technical stuff to think about too.
Water Pressure AssessmentBefore we start, we check your water pressure. This helps us recommend the right taps and makes sure everything will work properly. "Our old kitchen tap hardly dribbled water. Kudos tested our pressure and found the problem was a partially blocked valve. They fixed it, and now our new tap works amazingly!" - Trevor from Ollerton |
Hot Water Supply PlanningDifferent systems heat water differently. We make sure your kitchen plumbing works with your boiler or hot water system. If you've got a combi boiler, we need to think about how far your kitchen is from the boiler. For hot water cylinders, we check the supply is adequate. |
Waste Pipe RoutingGetting rid of water is as important as bringing it in. We work out the best routes for waste pipes, making sure they have the right fall (slope) to prevent blockages. In older Mansfield homes, this can be tricky, but we've got loads of experience working with existing plumbing. |
Drainage RequirementsKitchen sinks need proper traps to stop smells coming back up from drains. We install proper P-traps or S-traps depending on your plumbing layout. If you've got a waste disposal unit or dishwasher, we make sure the drainage can handle the extra water flow. |
Leak Prevention MeasuresWe hate leaks! That's why we:

Fancy Plumbing Features
Want something special? We can help with that too.
Boiling Water TapsInstant boiling water is a game-changer. We install taps like Quooker that give you hot, cold, AND boiling water from one tap. "The boiling water tap Kudos fitted has changed my life! No more waiting for the kettle - just instant hot water for tea or cooking. Worth every penny." - Sarah from Chesterfield |
Water Softener IntegrationHard water in the Mansfield area can damage appliances and leave limescale. We can fit water softeners that protect your taps, appliances, and pipework. |
Under-Sink FiltersCleaner, better-tasting water is just a filter away. We install under-sink systems that connect directly to your tap, removing impurities without affecting water pressure. |
Commercial-Grade InstallationsFor serious home cooks, we offer commercial-grade plumbing solutions. Heavy-duty sinks, pre-rinse spray units, and robust drainage systems can bring professional kitchen features into your home. |
Instant Hot Water SystemsWant hot water the moment you turn the tap? We can install instant hot water heaters that save water and time. |
Doing Things By the Book
We don't cut corners with regulations – it's not worth the risk.
Water Regulations Compliance
All our work complies with Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) requirements. This means we use approved fittings and follow installation practices that protect your water quality.
Backflow Prevention
Backflow can contaminate your drinking water. We install proper backflow preventers where needed to keep your water safe.
Proper Venting Requirements
Venting stops air locks and gurgling drains. We make sure your plumbing is properly vented to keep everything running smoothly.
Pressure Testing Procedures
Before we finish, we pressure test all pipework to check for leaks. This catches problems before they cause damage.
Certification and Documentation
We provide proper documentation for our work, which is handy if you ever sell your home or need to make an insurance claim.

A Real Kitchen Plumbing Job We Did
We worked on a tricky kitchen remodel in West Bridgford. The owners wanted to move their sink to an island – which meant completely new plumbing routes under the floor.
"We thought moving our sink would be impossible, but Michael and the team found a way to run pipes under our floor without ripping everything up. They even sorted a special shallow waste system so our drawers could still work in the island." - Helen from West Bridgford
The job involved:
- Lifting selective floorboards to run new water feeds
- Installing a special slim waste trap system
- Adding a water filter tap alongside the main sink mixer
- Plumbing in a new dishwasher
- Fitting isolation valves that are hidden but accessible
This kind of work needs proper planning and know-how – not something to try yourself unless you really know what you're doing!
Questions People Ask Us
How much does kitchen plumbing installation cost UK?
The price varies depending on what you need. Simple tap replacements start around £80-£120, while complete kitchen plumbing systems for new kitchens range from £500-£1,500 depending on complexity. We're happy to give you a quote based on your exact requirements.
Do I need a plumber to fit a kitchen?
Yes, for the plumbing parts! While kitchen fitters can handle units and worktops, the water and waste connections should be done by someone who knows plumbing. Getting it wrong can lead to leaks, water damage, and invalid insurance if things go wrong.
Can I do kitchen plumbing myself?
Some simple tasks like changing a tap might be DIY-friendly if you're handy. But most kitchen plumbing needs proper know-how. Getting it wrong can cause leaks that damage your lovely new kitchen – or worse. We've fixed many DIY disasters that ended up costing more than hiring us in the first place.
What plumbing is required for a new kitchen?
A typical kitchen needs:
- Hot and cold water feeds for the sink
- Waste pipe connection (properly trapped)
- Dishwasher connections (water in and waste out)
- Possibly a washing machine connection
- Maybe special connections for fridges, water filters, or boiling water taps
How long does kitchen plumbing installation take?
It depends on the job. A simple tap replacement takes about an hour. First fix plumbing for a full kitchen might take a day, with second fix taking another day after units are installed. We'll give you a timeframe when we quote.
