Our comprehensive appliance connection service ensures a smooth installation from start to finish.

1. 1

   Initial Assessment and Site Visit (15-30 minutes)

   Upon arrival, our plumber will inspect the installation area, assess the existing water supply and drainage points, and identify any potential challenges, such as pipe corrosion or insufficient space. We'll discuss your specific requirements and confirm the scope of work.

2. 2

   Preparation and Pipework Adaptation (30-90 minutes)

   We'll prepare the necessary connections, which might involve extending or modifying existing water inlet and outlet pipes. This includes cutting, soldering, or using compression fittings as required to ensure a secure and leak-proof setup. We always use appropriate valves and seals.

3. 3

   Appliance Connection and Securing (20-40 minutes)

   The washing machine or dishwasher is then carefully positioned and connected to the prepared water supply and drainage lines. We ensure all hoses are correctly tightened and routed to prevent kinks or undue stress. The appliance is levelled and secured to prevent movement during operation.

4. 4

   Testing and Final Checks (10-20 minutes)

   Once connected, we run a full test cycle on the appliance to check for leaks, proper drainage, and correct water intake. We verify that all functions are operating as expected and provide you with any necessary instructions for optimal use and maintenance. We also tidy up the work area.

It's always best to call a professional when installing or replacing a washing machine or dishwasher, especially in older buildings. You should contact us if you are:

• Replacing an old appliance

  Ensuring the new unit connects properly to existing, potentially aged, plumbing.

• Installing a new appliance in a new location

  This often requires extending water lines and drainage, which is complex work.

• Experiencing leaks or poor performance after a DIY attempt

  We can diagnose and rectify incorrect installations.

• Concerned about water pressure or drainage issues

  Our experts can assess your home's plumbing capacity and make necessary adjustments for optimal appliance function.

• Moving into an older property in El Gòtic

  The unique plumbing configurations in many 'fincas antiguas' often demand specialized knowledge to avoid damage.

For reliable and long-lasting appliance connections, we exclusively use high-quality materials and components from reputable manufacturers. Our standard installations typically involve flexible braided stainless steel hoses for water supply, providing superior durability and burst resistance compared to rubber alternatives. For drainage, we utilise robust PVC or polypropylene pipes and fittings, ensuring efficient wastewater removal without blockages. We often incorporate anti-flood devices for added peace of mind. Regarding specific components, we frequently work with brands like Roca for valves and taps, ensuring excellent flow control and longevity. For general plumbing fittings, we trust manufacturers such as Uponor and Genebre, known for their adherence to European quality standards and robust construction. These choices guarantee a secure and efficient connection for your washing machine or dishwasher.

The cost for connecting a washing machine or dishwasher in El Gòtic typically ranges from €43 to €384, with a median price around €214. This variation depends on several factors. A basic connection to pre-existing, easily accessible points will be at the lower end. However, if new water lines or drainage points need to be installed, or if complex adaptations to older plumbing are required, the price will increase. The cost also includes the plumber's labour, standard connection hoses, and minor fittings. Any major pipework modifications or the installation of new stopcocks would be quoted separately. We provide a transparent, itemised quote before commencing any work, ensuring you understand all costs involved.
