Questions to Ask Your Trade

1. Are you Part P (electrical) or WaterSafe registered for the connections required?

2. Is the quote fixed (labour, small parts, VAT) or hourly after the first appliance?

3. Will you remove the old appliance and all packaging—any extra charge?

4. Do you provide a rapid‑response slot for integrated units that stop mid‑kitchen refit?

5. What is your liability cover if flooring or cabinets are damaged in transit?

6. Can you supply in‑line filter valves/hoses to extend warranty requirements?

7. How long is the workmanship guarantee on leaks or electrical connections?

   
   

How to Avoid Surprises

• Measure doorways & stairs; confirm appliance width and weight with the fitter.

• Check utilities—stop‑cock must turn, socket within 1 m and RCD‑protected.

• Photograph existing plumbing/electrics to show any non‑standard pipework.

• Reserve parking near the entrance for lifting heavy white goods.

• Have manuals & warranty info ready for registration during the test run.
