FAQs
Do I need a high- or low-pressure tap for my kitchen?
Your water system determines which tap will perform best. Homes with gravity-fed systems typically require low-pressure-compatible taps to maintain flow, while combi-boilers and unvented systems support high-pressure models. Using the wrong type can lead to weak flow or spluttering. If you’re unsure which system you have, checking your boiler type or consulting a qualified tradesperson helps ensure your new tap delivers strong, consistent water pressure and performs as expected.
Are boiling-water taps safe to use in a family kitchen?
Modern boiling water taps include several safety features such as insulated spouts, child-safe push-and-turn mechanisms, and automatic shut-off systems. Unlike a kettle, the hot water is dispensed in a controlled, non-tippable stream, reducing the risk of accidental spills. While they reach near-boiling temperatures, the design is intended to keep the tap body cooler to the touch. Used correctly and with supervision, they’re a safe and convenient option for family kitchens.
How do I fix a dripping kitchen mixer tap?
A dripping mixer tap is usually caused by worn cartridges or O-rings. Ceramic disc cartridges are inexpensive and straightforward to replace, often needing only a screwdriver and an Allen key. First, isolate the water supply, remove the handle and access the cartridge to swap it for a matching part. If that doesn’t solve the issue, tightening connections or replacing seals may help. Persistent leaks in older taps can indicate it’s time for a full replacement.
How long do kitchen taps typically last?
A good-quality kitchen tap usually lasts around 10–15 years, depending on usage, water hardness and build quality. Ceramic disc cartridges, corrosion-resistant materials and durable finishes all contribute to longer lifespans. In hard-water areas, regular descaling helps prevent limescale from affecting internal components. Occasional maintenance, such as tightening fittings and replacing cartridges when needed, also extends the tap’s life. That’s why brand choice, materials and warranties are worth considering when you buy.
Can I install a kitchen tap myself?
Many homeowners can install a standard tap themselves, especially when replacing a like-for-like model. Flexible connectors and clear instructions make basic swaps manageable with everyday tools. However, more complex jobs — such as fitting boiling-water options, filter systems or working with old pipework — may be better left to a professional plumber. Always isolate the water supply, follow the manufacturer’s guidance and check thoroughly for leaks. If in doubt, a tradesperson ensures a safe, compliant installation.
