Freestanding dishwasher installation
Find out everything you need to know about our freestanding dishwasher installation service.
Coronavirus (COVID-19): a note to our customers
We’re still delivering to our customers safely, but following the latest Government advice we’ve had to temporarily suspend some of our installation services. We can still offer an installation service for any American Fridge Freezers and any built-in cooking products, except for LPG models. Unfortunately we’re not able to offer installation for any other appliances, but as soon as this changes we’ll let you know.
For help on how to fit your dishwasher yourself, read our how-to guide here.
Our fully trained team will get your new freestanding dishwasher set up and ready to start using for just £25. Interested? Find out about everything that’s included in this service and what you can do to prepare for us.
What we'll do
Getting your new freestanding dishwasher installed is no problem for us. Here’s everything we’ll take care of.
- Once we arrive, we’ll unpack everything for you. Don’t worry about space in the bin. We’ll take all the packaging with us when we leave.
- We’ll connect your dishwasher up to your water and electrical supply, and then get it safely in position.
- Once it’s fitted, we’ll snap a quick picture of your new dishwasher for our records.
- Chosen our Remove & Recycle service? Then we’ll take away your old appliance when we leave.
What you need to do
We’ll get everything sorted on delivery day, but there are a few things you need to do and check before we arrive.
- Make sure we’ve got clear access to the kitchen and that your new dishwasher will fit. Take a look at our measurement guide to make measuring up easy.
- You’ll need to have your old appliance disconnected and out of the way. Want one less job to do? Go with our disconnection service and we’ll take care of it when we arrive.
- There’ll need to be a standard plug socket within 1 metre of where your new dishwasher is going. There’ll also need to be a cold water supply and waste hose connector behind it. Can’t see these? Get in touch to see if we can still install for you.
- If your new dishwasher is going next to a washing machine, then you’ll need a Y piece to split the cold water supply between the two appliances. If you’re replacing an old dishwasher, you should already have one. Don’t have one? You can find them in any hardware store.
What we don't cover
Here’s everything our installation service doesn’t cover.
- If your new dishwasher is hardwired or there isn’t a standard plug within 1 metre of where it’s going, we won’t be able to install.
- If there’s an issue with your plumbing, we won’t be able to install. If your water flow is acting up or you’re missing necessary parts, we’ll have to rearrange.
- We can’t make any changes to the plumbing in your house.
- Dishwashers don’t have test cycles like washing machines, so we’ll leave the first wash to you once we’re all done with the installation.
FAQs
- How much does freestanding dishwasher installation cost?
Installation is £25 per product. Sometimes we do promotional discounts which you’ll see on our product pages and basket or when browsing the site.
- How soon can I have my laundry product installed?
Installation is available 7 days a week, but this depends on your location and what engineers are available. You can see what dates are available by adding a product to the basket and entering your postcode.
- Can I add installation after ordering?
Yes, you can. But this might affect your delivery day, as it depends if any of our engineers are available. You can add installation up until 5pm the day before your original delivery date. Jump on live chat or give us a ring to get this sorted.
- Can you install my freestanding dishwasher on a different day to delivery?
No. Installation can only be done on delivery day.
- I live in Northern Ireland, can you still install my freestanding dishwasher?
Yes, we install in Northern Ireland, but it’ll be our trusted partners that will drop off your dishwasher and do the installation.
- Will you disconnect my old appliance?
Disconnection is a separate service that you’ll need to select in the basket.
- I need my freestanding dishwasher hardwiring – can you do this?
Sorry, but no.
- If you don’t install, can I have a refund?
You’ll have to get in touch with us so we can sort out a refund for the service.
