Home improvements are always exciting!
The anticipation of looking forward to a sparkling new and modern interior, especially with kitchen installations in North Sydney, is hard to beat. If you’re renovating your home or you think it’s time to update your old kitchen, there are things to consider. While you can take care of some of the work yourself, for kitchen installations, you’ll need to hire a licensed plumber for all of the new plumbing work.
In this article, we delve into the importance of hiring a professional plumbing service like Chris Lobb Plumbing for your new kitchen installation, along with highlighting the benefits of hiring licensed experts.
When to upgrade your kitchen plumbing
The kitchen sink is likely the busiest area of your home. Everyone uses it and it sustains loads of wear and tear over the years. Not to mention all the stuff people tend to pour down the kitchen sink. Eventually, your sink is going to start looking old, worn and dated, and will probably develop some plumbing problems too.
Worn taps are a common issue. Leaking hot or cold water pipes under the sink are not only unsightly, but the water will cause damage to the kitchen cabinets.
If you’re having kitchen plumbing issues or it’s simply time for an upgrade, don’t try and perform the installation yourself. Give us a call.
Benefits of professional installation
To ensure a quality kitchen sink installation complies with industry rules and standards, all plumbing work has to be undertaken by a trained professional. Let’s look at the benefits that a professional plumber provides.
1. Clean and tidy installation
The completion of plumbing fixtures and kitchen sink installation will be faster when accomplished by a professional with the experience and the right tools of the trade. The results will also be aesthetically pleasing, with a neat and tidy finish and all of the plumbing fixtures functioning as the manufacturer intended. When installed by a licensed expert, you’ll also have complete peace of mind.
2. Access to the latest plumbing innovations
As we’re involved in the plumbing industry on a daily basis, we have knowledge of and access to the latest plumbing innovations. This means we can advise you on the best setup for your kitchen, including the type of sink, the fittings and the pipes to run your hot and cold water. You’ll have exactly what you want and need, all within your budget.
3. Compliance with plumbing codes
Licensed plumbers operating in New South Wales must adhere to certain industry codes and rules. This ensures the quality of the work done, fairness in business operations, and the assurance that all work is carried out in a safe manner.
If you attempt to perform your own plumbing work in your kitchen, not only will you likely be unaware of the compliance laws, but it’s actually illegal to undertake certain plumbing tasks if you are not licensed to do so.
4. Avoid damaging plumbing fixtures
If you take the chance on a DIY plumbing project for your kitchen, there’s a chance you could cause damage to other plumbing fixtures when installing a new sink and/or fittings. An example would be damaging pipes located beneath the sink when fitting a new kitchen tap. When you call in experienced professionals like Chris Lobb Plumbing, you can rest easy knowing exactly how to do it right.
5. Warranty protection on fittings
Many kitchen plumbing fixtures come with a manufacturer’s warranty. Installation by a licensed professional ensures this warranty remains valid. Attempting to install plumbing fixtures yourself could result in you voiding your warranty. If a manufacturing defect arises after installation, this becomes a problem for home handypeople. So why take the risk?
6. Save money long-term
Although you’ll obviously need to pay for the services of a professional plumber for your new kitchen installation, when the job’s done right the first time, it can actually save you money in the long run. A DIY installation could result in costly ongoing repairs if it’s not done satisfactorily. Therefore, it makes practical and economic sense to hire a professional from the outset.
7. Add value to your home
Renovating your kitchen with the help of Chris Lobb Plumbing will add value to your home. Whether you ever want to sell or not, it’s always nice to know your house is worth more today than it was yesterday.
