Moving plumbing in kitchen

Heth_2

Hi, any plumbers on here?
We are currently trying to buy a house and want to reorganise the kitchen somewhat so we can plumb in our dishwasher. The sink and washing machine space are currently together along one of the small walls, but because there is a door there is no space for the dishwasher.
So we would have to get plumbing done to have it on one of the other walls, probably the outer wall as i guess that is easiest.
Any idea how much this would cost?
Cheers.

It sounds like you have a very small kitchen. Do you really need a dishwasher? Personally, unless you are a very large family, having a dishwasher is a waste of money. As far as cost is concerned, my plunber quoted me 250.00 for about half a day's job.

It isn't a very small kitchen (3.45 m x 2.77 m) and there is plenty of space for the dishwasher under the worktops. The thing is we have a dishwasher anyway (which was a gift), so it seems a shame not to use it when there is space, just not the plumbing.

We moved our washing machine last year, from one side of the kitchen to the other. It was easy, just went out and bought some copper pipe and plastic push-fit connectors. We ran the piping round the wall near the ceiling and WILL get round to boxing it in. Soon
Make sure there's a drain somewhere near on the outside wall or you'll have floods from the waste pipe lol. The only fiddly bit was making the hole in the wall for the waste pipe but our friend had a drill with the right size drill bit so it wasn't too bad.
There's a couple of plumbers on here so they'll probably turn up soon.

How long is a piece of string?
I would cost between £75-£150, depends on time ans materials, on the link posted by Troo, it states use 38mm waste pipe, it would be best to use 42mm, as you will have more debris from a dishwasher,and you wouldn,t like it to block up.(would you)??????
