What can I hire plumbing companies for?

Plumbers can do more than just fit sinks and fix toilets; for any water or gas fixture there’s a plumbing company that can repair, install or even design it for your home. In the kitchen, you’ll need local plumbers to hook up your sink, dishwasher and washing machine to the main water supply and the drainage pipes, and they may be able to help with waste disposal units, gas hobs and plumbed-in fridges that dispense ice and water.

In the bathroom you should hire plumbers to install your main bathroom fixtures – showers, baths, sinks, toilets and bidets. Plumbing companies and heating engineers can also install towel radiators, shower body jets, bath spas and possibly underfloor heating.

If you want to source your plumbing materials yourself so you can have 100% clarity on the materials and prices of materials you are using, you can also find local plumbers merchants on Houzz. Plumbers merchants will sell all sorts of plumbing supplies, parts and kitchen and bathroom fixtures, so you can choose exactly what will be used in your home.

Plumbing doesn’t have to stick to the kitchen and bathroom, either. Plumbers can install water taps outside for hoses and sprinkler systems, or you may want outdoor water features, such as a fountain, pond, pool, hot tub or shower; all of which you can talk to local plumbers or plumbing companies about. You may find that you need a plumber to work with a tiler, kitchen designer or architect so that your whole redesign can come together seamlessly. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of plumbers: Main Contractors, Septic Tanks & Sewage Systems, Kitchen & Bathroom Designers, Kitchen & Bathroom Fitters.
