Moving washing machine to Cellar

northwest1965

We have a small kitchen and at present my washing machine is in what used to be the old outside toilet. However, the last two years it has always frozen and I have been unable to use it for a length of time.

We are thinking of moving it to the cellar. I was just wondering if anyone had and what costs were involved.

I know we would need a pump, that's about all i know.

Impossible to tell you, because no-one knows exactly what is involved.
You'll need in the cellar a mains power supply and socket, and a cold water feed (unless it's an old machine requiring a hot feed too).
Then you'd need a pump and a waste to the nearest drain.
It depends on exactly what is needed and the distance that the supplies have to be run. Then a plumber and an electrician.
Might be cheaper to insulate the outside WC?

We have a dry cellar that already houses my freezers so electricity is fine.
We've got a plumber coming to give us a quote in the morning!

Will have to look into insulating the WC. Any ideas on the best way to do that?
