Why Choose a Boiling Water Tap?


If you're tired of waiting for the kettle to boil, refilling it, or cluttering your worktops, a boiling water tap might be the upgrade your kitchen has been waiting for. These stylish, space-saving taps provide instant 100°C boiling water straight from the spout — ideal for hot drinks, cooking, and cleaning.

At Lucas Plumbing & Heating Ltd, we specialise in installing boiling water taps across homes in Berkshire, including Wokingham, Reading, Ascot, and surrounding areas.


What Is a Boiling Tap?

A boiling water tap is an all-in-one unit that delivers cold, hot, and boiling water from a single, sleek tap. It includes a compact under-sink boiler tank, which stores and maintains the water at or near boiling point — ready on demand.

Some systems offer:

  • Filtered boiling water
  • Chilled filtered water
  • Sparkling water (in premium models)

Brands like Quooker, Grohe Red, InSinkErator, and Franke lead the market with energy-efficient, safe-to-use designs.


What’s Involved in Upgrading?

Upgrading your existing kitchen tap to a boiling tap requires a few key steps:

  1. Choose the right system
  • We’ll help you pick a tap that suits your needs, kitchen space, and water pressure.
  1. Install the under-sink boiler tank
  • Usually fits in a standard kitchen cupboard (requires electrical socket and cold feed).
  1. Connect cold, hot and boiling supply lines
  • We modify or upgrade your pipework if needed.
  1. Fit the new tap
  • Replace your old mixer tap with a modern 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 boiling tap.
  1. Test and commission
  • Full system test, safety demonstration, and usage guide.


Benefits of a Boiling Water Tap

Instant boiling water – Perfect for tea, coffee, noodles, pasta, baby bottles, and more.

Energy efficient – Uses less energy than boiling a kettle multiple times a day.

Clutter-free kitchen – No need for a separate kettle or water filter jug.

Filtered water – Most boiling taps include built-in filters to improve water taste.

Child safety features – Anti-scald mechanisms, push-to-dispense functions, and insulated spouts.

Modern aesthetic – Sleek designs to match high-end kitchens and modern renovations.


How Much Does a Boiling Tap Installation Cost?


Typical installation cost:
Tap system costs vary from
£400 to £1,500+ depending on features and brand.

We provide:

  • Fixed-price quotes
  • Advice on system size and power requirements
  • Installation by fully qualified, insured engineers
💡 TIP: Some boiling taps require a 13A socket under the sink. If you don’t have one, we can arrange safe electrical installation too.


Is It Worth the Upgrade?

If you regularly use boiling water — or value a clean, clutter-free kitchen — then yes, a boiling water tap can be a game-changer. It’s especially ideal for:

  • Busy households
  • Home offices
  • Open-plan kitchens
  • Small kitchens with limited space
  • People with mobility or dexterity issues (no need to lift kettles)
