Kitchen Taps

Kitchen taps give you precise control of flow and temperature at the sink. You use them every day for rinsing food, filling pans, washing hands, and cleaning up. The right tap improves ergonomics, saves time, and fits your water system. You can pick compact single levers for speed, twin levers for fine control, or pull-out spray taps for flexible cleaning. With good aerators and ceramic cartridges, modern kitchen mixer taps deliver smooth action and steady flow, even at low pressures. Pair your tap with a matching sink and accessories to keep your worktop clear and your routine efficient.

Choosing a tap starts with how you cook and clean. If you prep lots of veg or large pans, a high-arc spout or pull-out helps reach every corner. If you have a combi boiler or balanced system, most mixers will suit; for low pressure, look for models designed to perform from 0.3 bar. Water-saving aerators reduce splash and consumption. Limescale-resistant nozzles and durable finishes keep maintenance simple. For households that value hygiene, hands-free options and easy-wipe surfaces reduce touch points around the sink.

  • Common use cases: daily handwashing, rinsing produce, filling kettles and cookware, cleaning trays and oven shelves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need high water pressure for a modern kitchen tap?

Most modern kitchen taps, especially Pull-out sprays and Monobloc mixers, perform best with high-pressure systems (1.0 bar+). However, if you have a traditional gravity-fed system (a cold water tank in the loft), you will need a Low Pressure Kitchen Tap specifically designed to provide a steady flow at 0.1 to 0.3 bar. Always check the "Minimum Operating Pressure" in our technical specifications before purchasing. You can read more on water pressue by reading our guide on understanding water pressure in your home.

What is the difference between a Monobloc and a Bridge tap?

A Monobloc tap requires a single 35mm hole in your sink or worktop and uses a single body to mix hot and cold water. A Bridge mixer tap requires two holes (usually 180mm apart) and is the classic choice for Belfast or Butler sinks. If you are replacing an old tap, ensure your new choice matches the existing drill holes in your sink.

Are 3-in-1 boiling water taps safe for family kitchens?

Yes, our range of Boiling Water Taps includes integrated safety features such as cool-touch spouts and child-safe "push-and-turn" handles. These taps provide standard hot and cold water alongside instant 98°C filtered water, eliminating the need for a kettle and saving both time and worktop space.

How do I clean and maintain a Matte Black or Brass kitchen tap?

To preserve the finish of specialized coatings like Matte Black, Brushed Brass, or Copper, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads. We recommend using a soft microfibre cloth and warm, soapy water. Drying the tap after use prevents limescale build-up, which is particularly important in hard water areas to keep the finish looking new.

What are Ceramic Disc Valves and why are they better?

Unlike old-fashioned rubber washers that perish over time, Ceramic Disc Valves are two diamond-hard ceramic plates that slide over each other to control water flow. This technology is virtually wear-proof, providing a "drip-free" experience and a much smoother handle operation that lasts for years.
