Washing machine in garage

FreddieFrugal

Hi there,

Hopefully be moving into new house in not too distant future. The house has an integral garage with electricity already set up and the central heating boiler is in there. We'd quite like to have dishwasher in the kitchen where the washing machine currently is and have our washing machine in the garage. Does anyone have a rough idea of how much it would cost to get plumbing set up?

Thanks

The sink is opposite the door to garage, would be just inside on wall. Probably about 5 metres distance, the nearest drain is probably 3-4 metres in a straight line along the outside wall from where the machine would be. But there is already some plumbing in the garage as the boiler is hooked up.

We've had our washer and dryer in the garage for 17 years now - I can't give you any idea on cost but if you have a cold water fill washing machine, electric socket and drain nearby it shouldn't be too expensive.
As its an integral garage you should not have any problem with the water pipes freezing.
I love having the machines out in the garage :T
