Integrated Appliance Fitting & Installation Derby

• Integrated washing machines, tumble dryers and washer-dryers, including door panel fitting and alignment
• Built-in dishwashers, connected to the existing water supply and waste
• Integrated fridges, freezers and fridge-freezer combination units
• Built-in single and double ovens, combination ovens and microwaves
• Integrated gas and electric hobs, plus extractor hoods and downdraft extraction
• Wine coolers and integrated coffee machines
• Disconnection and removal of the old appliance
• Door panel and fascia alignment, so the cabinet run still looks unbroken once the appliance is in
• Testing and demonstration before we leave - water fill and drain, door seals, ignition and controls as applicable

• Cabinet carcass alterations beyond minor packing or re-cutting an aperture - a joiner can usually do this on the same visit, but significant rework to the housing is priced separately
• Extending water, waste, gas or electrical runs beyond the existing connection point - quoted once we've seen the site
• Supply of the appliance itself, unless it's part of a kitchen we're already supplying - we also install appliances bought elsewhere, including from Howdens, Wren Kitchens, Magnet or premium German handleless suppliers
• Disposal of the old appliance - available as an add-on through our registered waste carrier licence, not automatic unless requested
• Same-day or emergency callouts - these can often be arranged but aren't part of the standard booking slot

1. Get in touch -- Tell us the appliance type, and the brand/model if you have it, and whether it's gas or electric. That's usually enough for a starting price and a sense of which trade needs to be on site.
2. Site check for anything non-standard -- For a straightforward swap - same footprint, same connections - we can often book straight in. For a new gas connection, a hob needing its own circuit, or a cabinet that needs altering, we'll arrange a site visit first so the quote is accurate rather than revised on the day.
3. Booking -- We schedule the right trade for the job - joiner, plumber, electrician or Gas Safe engineer - so nobody's waiting on a second visit to finish it off.
4. Fitting day -- The old appliance is disconnected and removed, the new one is fitted, connected and the door panel aligned, and any electrical or gas connection is made and certified on the spot.
5. Testing and sign-off -- We run the appliance through its cycle or ignition before we leave, checking for leaks, correct drainage, secure fixing and that doors and controls operate properly, and talk you through anything appliance-specific before we go.

As a guide, straightforward installations - swapping one integrated appliance for another of the same type, using the existing connection - typically start from around £75 to £95 depending on the appliance: dishwashers and washing machines at the lower end, gas hobs and built-in ovens usually a little more because of the connection and certification work involved. Cabinet alterations, extended pipework or wiring, a new circuit for a hob, and disposal of the old appliance are priced separately once we've had a proper look at what's involved. Two jobs that look identical from the front can involve very different amounts of work behind the cabinet door - a dishwasher going into a cabinet that's already plumbed is a different job to one going into a cupboard that's never had a water supply run to it, even though both look like "fit a dishwasher" on the phone. So we confirm the exact price in writing before booking anything in, and anything that can't be judged over the phone gets a site visit first rather than a price that changes once we're on site.

Fitting an integrated appliance properly usually means solving two problems at once: making the appliance work, and making it disappear behind the cabinetry. A dishwasher door that's a couple of millimetres out will catch on the worktop or leave a gap next to the cabinet beside it. A washing machine's standpipe and trap need to sit at the right height, or you get slow draining and smells coming back up the waste. An induction hob usually needs its own dedicated circuit rather than sharing a ring main, which is why a job that sounds like "just fit the hob" can turn into rewiring work partway through - the existing circuit might be rated fine for an old resistance hob but not for an induction one drawing considerably more current. Our joiners, trained through City & Guilds with a bench-joinery background, handle the cabinet side - packing or re-cutting an aperture so the appliance sits flush rather than proud or recessed. Our plumbers, qualified to NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds, take care of the water and waste connection. Where a gas hob or range cooker is going in, one of our Gas Safe registered engineers connects it, checks it and certifies it before we leave, and any new circuit is signed off by a Part P registered electrician who issues a proper safety certificate rather than a verbal "that's fine". Because all of that sits within one crew rather than a chain of subcontractors, a job that needs more than one trade doesn't mean a second booking, a second call-out charge, or a second person to track down if something needs adjusting afterwards.

We're based at the workshop on Stenson Rd in Sunny Hill, south Derby, and most of our integrated appliance fitting is within Derby itself, from Allestree and Mickleover through to Chellaston and Alvaston. The work varies with the housing stock as much as the postcode: Allestree and Mickleover are mostly 1960s-80s semis and detached houses where the kitchen usually already has a dedicated appliance run, while Alvaston and the streets closer to the city centre have more Victorian and Edwardian terraces, where a narrower kitchen often means re-planning where an appliance sits rather than a straight swap, and older wiring that needs checking before a new hob circuit goes in. Chellaston's newer estates tend to be the most straightforward, generally built with the water, waste and electrics for integrated appliances already allowed for. Further out, we cover Derbyshire towns including Chesterfield, Belper, Ilkeston, Long Eaton, Heanor and Alfreton, plus Matlock, Ripley and Nottingham - Belper in particular has a lot of former mill-worker terraces with narrow hallways and steep, tight staircases, worth mentioning when you book if a large appliance such as a fridge-freezer has to go up a flight of stairs or through a doorway that isn't standard width. If you're outside Derby itself, it's worth checking we're covering your postcode on the day you need, particularly for gas connections where we need to schedule a Gas Safe engineer in alongside the rest of the fitting.

A leaking washing machine connection or a fridge door slowly working loose from its hinge rarely gets better on its own, and the longer an ill-fitting appliance runs, the more likely it is to damage the cabinet around it or the flooring beneath it. Get in touch with your appliance details and we'll give you a starting price, and where the job needs a site visit first, get one booked in quickly, with the right trade already lined up rather than worked out after we arrive.
