can't see that being a going rate in London, is your 'nought' key not working properly

£10 be realistic are you having a laugh,no plumber is going to leave home for that,DIYer but find one that you can trust ,well thats another story ,so I feel that you are mis-leading the poster and giving unrealistic expectations.Also tackling plumbing that is beyond your experience can be expensive and stressful ,without an end result.

Of course they can flood the house,unfair and misleading comment ,giving false expectations.

I had no idea we were talking about London!

£10 would get the job done by a handyman in Cornwall. I work across all the trades and charge £17 per hour. I know I'm cheap but I would do that job for someone who lives in the same village as me for around the £10 plus materials mark.

London - you are possibly looking at a lot more.

As far as flooding the kitchen is concerned - we are talking about waste plumbing here, not incoming water. Although the flooding risk is there, it is not as acute as it is when dealing with water supplies.

wxmlad - Without knowing your configuration I couldn't answer your query completely. However the Y piece you have found would help with the incoming water.

Found this. It applies equally to washing machines and dishwashers

I need to solve this problem too. Moved house and need to connect dishwasher, washer has plumbing already. There isnt a deal of room under our sink to go about replacing the waste. But I am sure at our last house the plumber fitted a Y piece to the existing washer waste. Has anyone seen a Y fitting for waste? Ive looked on screwfix but can only find the Y fitting for water in, as in the above link (first one).
