Kitchen Plumbing Jesmond
Kitchen plumbing covers the busiest wet corner of the house: taps and sinks, dishwasher connections, gas cooktops, drains and the supply lines behind them. Plumbers Jesmond takes on all of it across Jesmond, with a $0 call out and a quote before any work starts.
What goes wrong in a kitchen here
Plenty of kitchens around here sit in houses that went up before 1970, and the fibro and weatherboard places on Heaton Street often still run pipework that has been patched and extended with every tweak over the decades.
Two faults follow from that age:
Tired supply lines
Cracked clay drains
Neither fault announces itself early, which is why the kitchen is often where ageing pipework shows first.
The kitchen work we take on
Six jobs make up most of the kitchen run, and each one gets done properly rather than patched.
Taps, mixers and sink repairs
A dripping mixer or a sink that won't hold water is usually a single-visit fix, because the common cartridges and washers ride on the truck and get fitted the same day.
Dishwasher connections
A dishwasher needs a secure supply, a properly trapped drain and joints that don't weep into the cabinet, and the full process lives on our dishwasher installation page.
Gas cooktops
Cooktop connections must be done by a licensed gas fitter, so we cap old lines, run new ones where needed and pressure-test everything before the cooktop is used again.
Kitchen drains and blockages
Grease and food scraps combine badly with a decades-old drain line, so a trap blockage gets cleared on the spot while repeat sink blockages point downstream to our blocked drains team.
Supply lines and pressure
Low pressure at the kitchen tap is rarely the tap itself, so we trace the fault back through the pipework feeding the bench and fix the actual cause, not the symptom.
Renovation rough-ins
Moving a sink or adding an island bench means extending supply and drainage under a floor that was never designed for it, roughed in to the plan before the cabinets arrive.
Rentals, units and student kitchens
Census figures put 25.6% of dwellings here at flats or apartments, and with the University of Newcastle's Callaghan campus next door, a good share of those are student rentals where the kitchen works overtime.
We work with both sides of that arrangement:
Tenants call direct
Landlords with a few units
Between semesters

Where this fits
The kitchen sits inside the wider plumbing run, and a few pages carry the related detail:
Kitchen plumbing questions
How much does kitchen plumbing cost?
You get the price in writing before any work starts, and the call out costs nothing. A washer swap is a short job, while moving lines or clearing drains costs more.
Do you connect dishwashers and gas cooktops?
Both. Dishwashers get an isolated connection with a leak-checked drain, and cooktops get a licensed gas fitter who pressure-tests the line before the appliance goes back into service.
Can you clear a grease-blocked kitchen drain?
Yes. A trap blockage comes apart and gets cleaned on the spot. When other fixtures back up too, the fault sits further down, and a CCTV inspection finds it.
Do you work on rental kitchens?
Plenty. Kitchens in student rentals wear out faster than most, so tenants can ring us themselves, the bill goes to whoever pays it, and landlords often bundle several units into a single visit.
Can you move plumbing for a kitchen renovation?
We can. Sink, dishwasher and gas positions all shift during a reno, and in an older house we plan around clay drains before anything gets opened up.
Is a slow kitchen drain an emergency?
Not usually. Slow is a job for this week. Emergency means waste coming back up, water pouring from a pipe, or a flooding floor, which the emergency plumbing hub handles.
