Calling all plumbers! How much to install a washing machine?

[desprateseagull]

hopefully with standard hot/cold connections.. Does power source need to be hard wired to mains, or a normal plug?

If the latter, then nothing to see here, move along..

I am also in need of a plumber - got a copper pipe in airing cupboard (think its to do with water going to the shower). Seems to have started to leak very slightly, been told it is a very quick and easy job but I don't have the tools myself.

Anyone know a reasonable plumber who wont charge over the top?

Assuming it's a fairly new machine I wouldn't bother with a plumber. The water inlet pipe you can buy from B&Q for around a tenner, the waste pipe is typically attached to the machine and just needs to be connected with a hose clip to waste under sink. Leccy plugs are standard three pin. I'm sure there are videos on YouTube to show how to connect. It really is simple.

Actually it's a mammoth task, don't believe @swindonseagull, someone fitting it for £500 will most certainly be a cowboy. Il fit it for £700

Depending where you are I will do it as a gesture of goodwill.

If its a simple one out one in you're looking at around the £40 mark

If it's a new/ nearly new machine you won't need a hot connection, as new machines are cold fill only.

Hard to give a price without seeing where the machine is going. Is it next to the kitchen sink unit?

Many thanks, for all your kind offers

Will be going next to the sink, when I've saved up.
