Price of plumbing job

moonpenny

Are there any plumbers out there who could give me an idea of what I would have to pay to get a new Integrated Washer fitted?
The position of the washer is right next to the sink.
I live in South Yorkshire.

Is there plumbing there for a washer at the minute? If so, and you're not confident to do it yourself, a plumber will probably charge £50-60 for connecting up.

If there's no plumbing there, they'll take a water feed from the kitchen tap and run the waste into your sink waste - will probably put the price up to nearer £100.

Might be a job for a handyman type person. Will probably charge a bit less and it's not a hard job so doesn't really need a fully qualified plumber.

Thank you!
There is a washer there at the moment (jus died) so appreciate it wouldn't be too difficult to fit but for someone who isn't very handy????

Have you bought the new washer yet? Most suppliers will offer a fitting service. AO.com for example charge £90 for fitting an integrated washer (is yours definitely integrated - does it have a cupboard door hiding the front?)

It's not a hard job to be honest but I understand you not wanting to do it yourself if you're not very handy. I'd do it for a few beer tokens if I was more local to you

There's no actual plumbing work required, if the existing one has standard fittings.

The water supply unscrews and screws back by hand

The waste pipe, if fitted on a spigot, just needs a screwdriver to remove/replace the jubilee clip.

You don't need a plumber, you just need a competent handyperson.

Check on YouTube and there are lots of videos to guide you through it, and with modern parts most connections can be screw or even push on.
