Tap Installation

The installation begins with selecting the right Tap and then turning off the water supply to avoid any potential flooding. The next steps involve removing the old Tap, if applicable, preparing the new one, and installing it correctly.

This often includes aligning the Tap with the sink or basin holes, securing it tightly, connecting the water supply pipes, and testing the Tap to ensure it functions without leaks.

Types Of Taps We Install

Pillar Taps: These traditional Taps come as a pair, one for hot water and one for cold. Each has its own spout and needs two separate holes in the sink or basin.
Mixer Taps: These taps combine hot and cold water and deliver water from a single spout, allowing you to adjust the water temperature more efficiently. They are ideal for bathrooms and kitchens.
Monobloc Taps: These are mixer Taps where the hot and cold water controls are part of the same unit, typically requiring a single tap hole. Due to their sleek design, Monobloc Taps are a common choice for modern kitchens and bathrooms.
Quarter turn Taps: These Taps use ceramic disc technology, allowing them to be turned on and off with a 90-degree handle turn. They are long-lasting and less likely to develop drips or leaks.
Wall-mounted Taps: These Taps are mounted directly onto the wall instead of a basin or sink, providing a streamlined, minimalist look. Wall-mounted taps can be used with countertop sinks, bathtubs, or washbasins.
Pull-out Spray Taps: These kitchen tap types have spray heads that can be pulled out of the tap itself. This feature is helpful for rinsing dishes or washing fruits and vegetables.
Touchless Taps: Also known as sensor Taps, a motion sensor activates these and don’t require manual operation. They are particularly hygienic and are often found in public restrooms, but they are increasingly popular in domestic kitchens and bathrooms for their water-saving benefits.

Tap Repairs

Tap repairs include tackling leaks, worn-out washers, and faulty cartridges.

When a Tap begins to drip, it often signifies that the washer, a small rubber part that seals the water flow when the tap is turned off, needs to be replaced.

The cartridge, which regulates the flow and temperature of the water in mixer taps, can become damaged or worn out, resulting in leaks or difficulty adjusting the water temperature.
