Installation of domestic appliances
Appliance Installation
Appliance installation covers connecting and fitting domestic appliances — washing machines, dishwashers, ovens, hobs and extractors — including any plumbing or electrical connection needed, with gas appliances installed only by Gas Safe registered engineers.

Definition
What appliance installation involves
Installing an appliance often involves more than plugging it in: washing machines and dishwashers need plumbing connections, built-in ovens and hobs need appropriate electrical or gas connections, and extractors need ducting. This service covers that connection work, usually as part of a kitchen fit-out or as a standalone appliance swap.
Suitable for
- Washing machine, dishwasher and appliance plumbing connections
- Built-in oven, hob and extractor installation
- Appliance replacement as part of a kitchen refit or standalone
Not suitable for
- Gas appliance connection by anyone other than a Gas Safe registered engineer — this is a legal requirement
