Washing Machine Installation in St Albans

Most washing machine problems we get called out to in St Albans are not faults with the machine at all. They come down to how it was connected: a supply hose on a tired old valve, a waste pipe pushed too far into the standpipe, or a machine that was never levelled and slowly walks itself across the kitchen floor. We fit new machines properly the first time so you are not mopping up a month later.

What our installation covers

  • Removing and disconnecting your old machine, and taking it away if you need us to
  • Checking the cold supply and fitting a new WRAS approved appliance valve where the old one is seized or weeping
  • Connecting the waste to a standpipe or under-sink spigot with the correct height and trap, so dirty water cannot siphon back into the drum
  • Removing the transit bolts (a surprising number of machines are run with them still in)
  • Levelling the feet and running a test cycle to check for leaks and drainage before we leave

New plumbing where there is no connection yet

If you are moving the washing machine into a utility room, a garage or under the stairs, we can run new hot and cold pipework and a new waste to the spot you want. We will talk you through the route, how the waste will fall to the drain, and whether any boxing in is needed, then give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Integrated and washer dryer models

Integrated machines take more care because the door has to line up with your kitchen units and there is very little room behind for hoses. We fit integrated washers and washer dryers from all the main brands and make sure the hoses are not kinked once the machine is pushed back into its space.

Signs your current machine is not connected properly

Water on the floor after a wash, a smell of drains from the drum, grey water sitting in the machine or a loud thud during the spin cycle all point to an installation problem rather than a broken appliance. We can usually find the cause in one visit and fix it the same day.

We cover St Albans, Harpenden, Hatfield, Watford, Welwyn Garden City, Redbourn and London Colney. Call 01727 620 195 or send a quick message through the form and we will get back to you with a time.

Common Questions About Washing Machine Installation

How long does a washing machine installation take?

A straight swap onto an existing supply and waste usually takes under an hour. If we need to fit a new valve or run new pipework, allow two to four hours depending on the distance and access.

Yes. We install machines from any retailer. Just make sure it has been delivered and unboxed where it is going, and let us know if it is an integrated model so we bring the right fittings.

Not always, but old valves often seize or drip when they are turned for the first time in years. We check yours on the day and only replace it if it needs it.

We can disconnect and remove your old machine. Mention it when you book so we allow the time and space in the van.
