Types of Dryers We Install
Not sure which type of dryer suits your home? Here's what we fit:
Vented Tumble Dryers
These need to push warm air outside through a hose. They're brilliant choices for many homes but need to be near a window or outside wall. Our team has installed hundreds across Derby and knows exactly how to set them up right.
Condenser Dryer Units
Don't want to drill holes in your walls? Condenser dryers collect water in a tank that you empty after use. We can place these nearly anywhere in your home with proper spacing for airflow.
Heat Pump Dryer Systems
The newest tech - these use less energy and are kinder to clothes. They cost a bit more up front but save money over time. Our team understands the special installation needs for these units.
Integrated Dryer Installations
Want your dryer hidden behind kitchen cabinets? We specialise in fitting integrated dryers that blend with your kitchen design. Perfect for modern kitchens in Derby homes.
Washer-Dryer Combinations
Save space with a combo unit. We'll make sure the plumbing and electrical connections are sorted properly.
Stacked Dryer Installation
Limited space? We can safely stack your dryer on top of your washing machine using the right brackets and connectors.
Commercial Dryer Units
Running a business? We handle bigger commercial dryers for laundries, B&Bs, and other Derby businesses.

Common Questions About Dryer Installation
What's the difference between vented and condenser dryers?
Vented dryers push hot, damp air outside through a hose. Condenser dryers catch the water in a container you empty after use. Vented dryers are usually cheaper to buy but need to be near an outside wall. Condenser dryers can go almost anywhere with proper airflow.
Do I need special ventilation for a tumble dryer?
For vented dryers, yes - you need a way to send moist air outside. This could be through a wall vent, window kit, or door vent. Condenser and heat pump dryers don't need outside venting, but still need proper air circulation around them.
Can dryers be stacked on top of washing machines?
Many modern machines can be stacked, but not all. You'll need:
- Compatible machines (usually same brand)
- A proper stacking kit
- Stable, level flooring
- Professional installation to prevent tipping
We'll check if your machines can be stacked safely.
What electrical requirements do dryers have?
Most tumble dryers need a 13-amp socket. Some larger or older models might need a 30-amp circuit. We'll check your home's electrical setup to make sure it can handle your new dryer.
How are integrated dryers installed in cabinetry?
Integrated dryers fit behind kitchen cabinet doors for a seamless look. We'll:
- Remove existing cabinet door
- Attach cabinet door front to dryer
- Adjust for proper fit and ventilation
- Ensure proper connections
What's the best location for a dryer installation?
The ideal spot has:
- Good airflow (not in a closed cupboard)
- Access to power
- For vented models, nearby outside access
- Room temperature between 5-30°C
- Level, stable flooring
Our team will help find the best spot in your Derby home.
Do heat pump dryers require special installation?
Heat pump dryers need:
- More space around them for airflow
- Room temperature above 5°C
- Proper drainage option if you want to avoid emptying the water tank
How is dryer ventilation routed through walls?
For proper vented dryer installation:
- We locate the best exit point
- Drill appropriate sized hole
- Install proper vent hood outside
- Seal around penetration
- Connect dryer with correct ducting
- Secure all connections
We do this properly to prevent moisture problems and fire risks.
Can tumble dryers be installed in garages or outbuildings?
It's possible but not ideal. Dryers work best in spaces that stay above 5°C. In cold garages, condenser dryers might not work properly. If you need a garage installation, we'll discuss the pros and cons.
