Kitchen appliance installation in Luton: integrated appliances, extractors, sinks and washing machines fitted and connected so they work and can be serviced later.
The part of a Luton kitchen nobody photographs is the part that generates the callbacks. Waste runs, isolation valves and access to integrated appliances are decided while the units are going in. They are almost impossible to put right afterwards without taking the kitchen apart.
In the Lewsey Farm and Marsh Farm houses the washing machine and dishwasher usually share one old waste under the sink. That is why they back up into each other. A new kitchen is the moment to give each appliance its own waste and trap, so they drain the way they should.
Usually, and it is far cheaper to decide it now than later. Moving a sink means a new waste run at the right fall, so the distance to the soil stack is what governs it. In most Luton semis there is a workable route; where there is not, we will tell you before the design is signed off.
Venting outside is better whenever an outside wall can be reached. A recirculating hood only filters the air and sends it back into the room, so the cooking smells and the steam stay in the kitchen.
A qualified electrician. New sockets and circuits in a kitchen are notifiable work and are certified, which matters when you sell. The kitchen layout tells the electrician exactly where everything needs to go.
The hob is fitted into the worktop as part of the kitchen. Connecting it to the gas supply is legally a job for a Gas Safe registered engineer. They are booked in to connect and test it.
A single swap takes an hour or two. In a full kitchen, the appliances are connected on the last days of the fit. Integrated models take longer because the doors must be hung and aligned.
The number of appliances, whether new wastes or valves are needed, and how easy the pipework is to reach. A like-for-like swap costs least. Moving a washing machine to a new wall needs new pipework.
01Integrated appliances | Fitted so they can be pulled out and serviced without dismantling the run. A large number of the integrated appliances we are called to were installed in a way that makes replacing them a joinery job. |
|---|---|
02Isolation valves you can reach | Every appliance gets its own valve somewhere you can get a hand to. A leaking washing machine is then turned off in seconds rather than at the stopcock. |
03Sockets planned with the electrician | Positions agreed at the design stage for where the kettle, toaster and microwave will really sit, then added and certified by a qualified electrician. |
04Old appliances taken away | Old appliances disconnected and removed as part of the fit, so nothing is left behind. |
05Separate wastes for each appliance | Washing machine and dishwasher given their own traps and connections, so one never drains back into the other. |
06What makes quoting easy | A photo of the space under the sink and one of the wall behind the appliances. Tell us what you are fitting and roughly how old the house is. That shows us whether the waste is shared. |
