Washing machine inlet installation

Takes about 30 min

A washing machine needs a proper tap with a threaded outlet that its inlet hose can screw onto. A verified plumber fits a washing machine tap or adaptor on your existing water point, connects the machine's inlet hose with its washer, and checks the drain hose sits securely in the drain or waste so it does not slip out during a spin.

The visit takes about 30 minutes, at the fixed price shown on this page. Buy the washing machine tap or adaptor beforehand if your point does not have one. If there is no water point near the machine at all, extending the line is quoted before work. Keep the machine in place and the inlet hose from its box handy.

What's included

  • Washing machine tap or adaptor fitted on your point
  • Machine inlet hose connected with its washer
  • Drain hose secured at the drain or waste
  • Fill test to check for leaks
  • 30-day warranty on the fitting

What's not included

  • The tap, adaptor and hoses, bought by you
  • Extending a water line to a new point, quoted first
  • Machine installation, levelling or repair

  3. 3

    Connect the hoses

    The inlet hose is screwed on and the drain hose is secured at the drain.

  4. 4

    Run a fill

Questions about this service

My point has a normal tap. Will the hose fit?

Usually not directly. A washing machine tap or adaptor with a threaded nozzle is needed, which you buy before the visit.

Will you set up the machine itself?

This service covers the water connection. Machine installation and levelling are done by the brand's technician.

My drain hose keeps slipping out. Can you fix that?

Yes. The plumber secures the drain hose at the waste point so it stays in during a spin.
