Can a plumber fix a kitchen sink?+
Yes, a plumber can fix a kitchen sink, including leaking pipework, blocked wastes, faulty taps and damaged traps. The repair depends on whether the problem is with the sink itself, its fittings or the pipes beneath it. If water is leaking, stop using the sink and isolate the supply if safe. Avoid pouring chemical drain cleaner into a blockage.
What plumbing is needed for a kitchen?+
A kitchen normally needs hot and cold water supplies to the sink, a trapped waste connection and accessible isolation valves. Dishwashers and washing machines also need suitable water feeds and drainage connections. Waste pipes need a suitable fall to drain properly. A plumber should check supply pressure, pipe routes and appliance requirements before cabinets or worktops are fitted.

What are the signs of a good plumber?+
A good plumber explains the likely cause, discusses repair options and agrees the scope and price before starting. They protect surrounding surfaces, use suitable fittings and test for leaks and proper drainage afterwards. For kitchen work, look for attention to accessible isolation valves and secure pipework. Any gas work must be handled by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
What is the 135 rule in plumbing?+
There is no single universally recognised plumbing rule called the '135 rule'. The phrase may refer to a 135-degree fitting or a drainage direction change, but its meaning depends on context. For kitchen waste pipes, correct fall, suitable bends and access for clearing blockages matter. Ask whoever used the term which fitting or installation requirement they mean.
What plumbers wish you knew?+
Plumbers wish more people knew that grease should never go down a kitchen sink, even with hot water: it cools and can clog pipework. Keep food scraps out, know where your stopcock is and investigate small leaks promptly. Avoid repeatedly using chemical unblockers, and tell the plumber if you have already used one before they open the pipework.
