If you are planning or in the process of fitting a new kitchen, read this!!!
Ask your builder some crucial questions.
We expect our appliances to last us a decade! But what happens if they don't, lots of issues from blockages to genuine failed parts can cause your dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer or tumble dryer to fail.
What happens next?
The appliance has to come out to be repaired!
When the builder has gone its a bit late sometimes to get them back.
So while they are on site ask the following questions.
If my appliance fails how do I switch it off?
Can I get to the plug?
Can I turn the water off?
Can I easily remove the appliance?
Can I get access to the waste outlet to undo it?
Simple absolutely crucial questions that in my experience people and indeed many builders do not ask!!!
Its also a good idea to ask how any joints in any pipe work are actually done!
By some miracle the pipes below where just pushed together and then unbelievably clamped on to!
There was no joining connector to clamp on to!!!
