Washer dryer installation for your home
A combination washer dryer needs a suitable position for both its washing and drying functions. We review the proposed model and fitting requirements before agreeing the installation.
Fitting types: Freestanding and integrated models, where available.
Details that help us prepare
Include the replacement model and whether it is freestanding or integrated. Tell us about the cupboard, furniture front and any space or ventilation restrictions stated in its installation information.
- The old and new model numbers and when the replacement will be available.
- Safely available measurements and photographs of the fitting position, if useful.
- Existing connections and any changes you already know are needed.
- Whether disconnection, removal or disposal of the old appliance is required.
- The full property address and any access arrangements for the visit.
Planning a combination washer dryer installation
What affects a washer dryer installation quote?
The quote depends on whether the appliance is freestanding or integrated, access to water and waste connections, and any agreed changes to the fitting position. Mention the old machine and whether it needs disconnecting or taking away. A combination washer dryer has its own installation requirements, so the office reviews the model before confirming the work and price.
Will an integrated washer dryer fit my existing kitchen door?
The furniture-door arrangement and cabinet opening must suit the proposed model. The hinges, depth and space behind the appliance need checking together; matching the advertised width alone is not enough. Share both model numbers and any cabinet measurements you already have. Leave the fitted appliance and door in place while the office reviews the replacement.
Does a washer dryer need the same connections as a washing machine?
Do not assume that every connection or clearance from the old washing machine will suit the new combination model. Its water, drainage, power and ventilation requirements must be checked against its installation information. Tell us about the existing position and any enclosure around it. The enquiry does not require you to disconnect hoses, pull out the appliance or inspect electrical connections.
Is a combination washer dryer the same as a stacked washer and dryer?
No. A combination washer dryer is one appliance that washes and dries. A stacked washing machine and separate tumble dryer are two appliances and need a suitable stacking arrangement. Tell us which setup you have and send the relevant model numbers. This page covers combination washer dryer installation; any separate stacking or dryer work needs its own scope check.
How long does washer dryer installation take?
A furniture front, limited access or changes to the connections can affect the time needed. Share those details before arranging the visit so the office can assess the fitting work. The drying function does not make every washer dryer installation the same job. Appointment availability and the expected fitting arrangements are confirmed separately.
What information helps when fitting a different washer dryer brand?
Send the new product reference, the old model if there is one, and whether the appliance will sit behind a kitchen door. The exact model determines fitting and connection requirements, even within one brand. Mention any space or ventilation restrictions shown in the product information. UKCDA confirms the proposed installation before a booking is agreed.
Bosch's washer dryer preparation guidance describes model-specific positioning considerations. Use the instructions for the exact combination appliance you intend to fit.
Send the fitting details for your address
UKCDA accepts installation enquiries across London and all areas inside the M25, throughout Surrey, and across DA and RM postcodes. Check your full postcode, then send the exact model and proposed fitting position. The office confirms suitability, the agreed scope and appointment availability. Manufacturer references provide background guidance and do not imply that UKCDA is authorised by those manufacturers.
Agreeing your installation
Installation work and charges are agreed for your model, fitting and existing connections before an appointment is confirmed. Removal, disposal and changes to cabinetry, plumbing, electrical supplies or ducting are included only when expressly agreed in the quotation.
Submit the fitting details and our office will confirm the price and appointment. Installation is quoted separately from repair work, and this enquiry form does not take payment.
