Fitting integrated washer

moonpenny

Morning all
I need to replace my integrated washer and was thinking of paying Curry's to do it when they bring my new one. However, the instructions say I have to drain my existing washer and a few other things.

How do I do this?
(At £90 I thought that was what I was paying for not to do part of the job myself)

What price are you paying Currys for the washer and have you searched for a cheaper price elsewhere? Currys are usually, but not always more expensive than alternatives.

I wouldn't pay £90 for Currys to install an integrated washing machine. I would get a local plumber, kitchen fitter or skilled handyman to do it.

Currys probably get the delivery drivers to do the job and how skilled might they be.

Their website says they will disconnect the existing appliance so I wouldn't expect to have to do anything that involves pipes & cables myself. It also says they will "Level and place the appliance neatly in the space, then securely fit the existing plinth and panel door to the appliance". Some integrated appliances need a little more than just "placing". It also says they will test for leaks, but then it says they'll connect the waste hose after that! If you know someone who's a bit handy I'd prefer to get them to help. If you have to use Currys I'd have a print off of this handy in case they say "We don't do that":

John Lewis fit them for £25 pounds and their washing machine prices are quite competitive. (I think they price match anyway) I have just ordered one from them and the price was the same as currys. They will also carry it up to my 3rd floor flat.

It says £85 on their website, plus £9 for disposal of the old one making it dearer than Currys, might be worth it though!

If you go onto the washing machines and select one under additional services it says £25 and £9 disposal. I spoke to them yesterday and that's what I was told too.

The OP is asking about integrated, it's £85.

Yes I had not noticed that.
