Washing machine and dishwasher plumbing in Edinburgh

How to get an accurate quote in Edinburgh

Short answer: In many Edinburgh flats the washing machine sits in a small kitchen with old pipework behind the units, so it matters whether a supply and waste are already there. Say which appliance it is, where it should go and whether one stood there before. For a leak, tell us if it drips from the fill hose, the valve on the pipe or the waste connection.
